2 Invoking ick

All operations on INTERCAL source code available in C-INTERCAL, other than the conversion from one character set to another, are currently carried out by the compiler ick.

The syntax is

ick -options inputfile

(Options can be given preceded by separate hyphens, or all in a row after one hyphen, or a mixture; they’re all single characters.) By default, this compiles one INTERCAL program given as the input file directly to an executable without doing anything fancy; usually you will want to give options, which are described below.
