_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Front-end for creating executable programs.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     R CMD LINK [options] linkcmd

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 linkcmd: a list of commands to link together suitable object files
          (include library objects) to create the executable program.

 options: further options to control the linking, or for obtaining
          information about usage and version.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The linker front-end is useful in particular when linking against
     the R shared library, in which case 'linkcmd' must contain '-lR'
     but need not specify its library path.

     Currently only works if the C compiler is used for linking, and no
     C++ code is used.

     Use 'R CMD LINK --help' for more usage information.

_N_o_t_e:

     Some binary distributions of R have 'LINK' in a separate bundle,
     e.g. an 'R-devel' RPM.
