NAME
       c89 - ANSI (1989) C compiler

SYNOPSIS
       c89 [-pedantic] [-pedantic-errors] [-D_ANSI_SOURCE] options ...

DESCRIPTION
       Calls the C compiler (cc) with the given options , using a C language environment compati‐
       ble with the -ansiC specification.

       This includes proper handling of trigraphs, disabling non-ANSI compiler features (such  as
       asm  ,  inline  , typeof , and the $ character in identifiers), and definition of the pre‐
       processor symbol __STRICT_ANSI__ .

SEE ALSO
       cc(1) for a description of all options.

HISTORY
       Appeared in NetBSD 1.4 .

BUGS
       Since c89 is a shell wrapper script to cc , compile errors are prefixed by "cc:".
