Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────/PADD Option───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Syntax:  /PADD[ATA][:padsize]
 
     The /PADD option adds filler bytes to the end of each data segment
     for subsequent linking with ILINK. Use /PADD only with the /INCR
     option. You can also specify the /PADC option to add padding to
     code segments.
     See: ◄/INCR Option►
          ◄/PADC Option►
 
     Specify <padsize> in decimal format or C-language notation. The
     default is 16 bytes, which is contributed by /INCR. This default
     padding is usually sufficient for successful incremental linking.
     The total of padding plus physical segment cannot exceed 64K.
