/OUT Linker Option

Syntax: Default:
/O[UT][:name] Name of first object file with appropriate extension

Use /OUT to specify a name for the executable output file.

If you do not provide an extension with name, then the linker provides an extension based on the type of file you are producing:

File produced Default extension
Executable program .exe
Dynamic link library .dll
Virtual Device Driver .vdd
Physical Device Driver .sys

If you do not use the /OUT option, then the linker uses the filename of the first object file you specified, with the appropriate extension.
