NAME
     linenum - line number entries in a MIPS object file

DESCRIPTION
     The cc command generates an entry in  the  object  file  for
     each  C  source line on which a breakpoint is possible [when
     invoked with the -g option;  see  cc(1)].   Users  can  then
     reference  line  numbers when using the appropriate software
     test system [see  dbx(1)].   The  structure  of  these  line
     number  entries  is  described in the MIPS Assembly Language
     Programmer's Guide chapter 11 in the section entitled ``For-
     mat  of  Symbol Table Entries'' in that section's section on
     ``Line Numbers''.
