Syntax

    -qflag=severity1:severity2 
    FLAG=severity1:severity2 

Purpose
Specifies the minimum severity level of diagnostic messages to be reported in a listing and displayed on a terminal.

Notes

severity1 Message level reported in listing
severity2 Message level reported on terminal

You must specify a level for both severity1 and severity2.

Diagnostic messages have the following severity levels:

severity Description
i Information
w Warning
e Error
s Severe error
u Unrecoverable error

Specifying informational messages does not turn on the -qinfo option.

Example
To compile myprogram.c so that the listing shows all messages that were generated and your workstation displays only error and higher messages, enter:

xlC myprogram.c -qflag=I:E
