NAME

binfmtcxx-interpreter - binfmt_misc C++ handler

SYNOPSIS

binfmtcxx-interpreter C++-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

DESCRIPTION

binfmtcxx-interpreter compiles a C++ source file specified on the command-line using C++ compiler, and executes the resulting file.
It is designed to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc handler, which is a system used in Linux for handling arbitrary files as executables.
The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

That line also is used to specify the additional command-line options for C++ compiler.

BINFMTCXX_GXX_OPTS
