Description

This option specifies that a program should be linked as a dynamic-link (DLL) library instead of an executable (.exe) file. It overrides any previous specification of run-time routines to be used and enables the /libs:dll option.

If you use this option with the /libs:qwin or /libs:qwins option, the compiler issues a warning.
