| Syntax: | Default: |
| /Fb[+|-|*] | /Fb- |
Use /Fb to produce a browser file, for use by the VisualAge for C++ Browser. The file has the same name as the next source file with the extension .pdb. You can include maximum information in the browser file by specifying /Fb*. You do not need to specify /Fb* unless the compiler issues a message that tells you to use the option.
If you are compiling and linking in one step, the compiler passes the /BROWSE option to the linker. If you are compiling only, you must specify the /BROWSE option directly, when you link, to preserve the browse information.
Note: This option is valid for C++ files only.
By default, the compiler does not produce a browser file.
