Here is an extract from the System V Release 2 lint man page listing of options: -c Cause *lint* to produce a ".ln" file for every ".c" file on the command line. Note: 1) this discussion was about System V Release 2 "lint" and 2) this newsgroup is "net.bugs.usg" which, presumably, is intended for bug reports about "USG" (now USDL) UNIX systems, like S3 and S5, or for bug reports which apply equally well to USDL systems and other systems, not for bug reports which apply only to V7, 2.xBSD, or 4.xBSD systems.
