Commands for Sun Studio 11 Software

Richard Friedman, September 2006

The Sun Studio 11 software collection includes high-performance compilers that optimize C, C++, and Fortran for the Solaris OS on SPARC and x86/x64 platforms, as well as Linux. Included are command-line tools and a NetBeans software-based integrated development environment (IDE) for application performance analysis and debugging of mixed-source language applications. This software also offers multi-platform support, compatible with gcc, Visual C++, C99, OpenMP, and Fortran 2003.

The entire set of Sun Studio 11 tools is available as a free download.

Here is a list of the Sun Studio command-line tools, organized by functionality, with links to their man pages. Complete information can be found on the documentation for Sun Studio 11 software web page.
