Compile programs from source files written in the C programming language, including using options to modify the nature of the compiled program. Use the make program to keep track of the interdependencies between the various parts of programming projects and to perform the steps necessary to create the final program. Use the symbolic debugger, sdb, to debug programs being developed. Use the lint program to search C source files for possible errors or problems with portability. Use the SCCS collection of commands to maintain the different versions of text files throughout their development
