NAME

       binfmtf-interpreter - binfmt_misc fortran handler

SYNOPSIS

       binfmtf-interpreter fortran-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

DESCRIPTION

       binfmtf95-interpreter  compiles  a  fortran  source file specified on the command-line using the gfortran
       compiler, and executes the resulting file.

       It is designed to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc handler, which is  a  system  used  in  Linux  for
       handling arbitrary files as executables.

       The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

FILE MAGIC

       There  is  a  requirement  for  Fortran  source  files  to  have the magic characters ! BINFMTF95: at the
       beginning of the file.

       That line also is used to specify the additional command-line options for Fortran compiler.

ENVIRONMENT

       GFORTRAN
              The compiler used.  The default is to use gfortran

       BINFMTCTMPDIR

              Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

              Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

       BINFMTC_DEBUG
              enables debug output if set.

       BINFMTC_GFORTRAN_OPTS
              Additional Gfortran options.  Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options being passed on to gfortran.

              The default is  -O2 -Wall
