### /OUT Linker Option

Syntax: | Default:
/O[UT][:name] | Name of first object file with appropriate extension

Use /OUT to specify a name for the executable output file.

If you do not provide an extension with name, then the linker provides an extension based on the type of file you are producing:

File produced | Default extension
Executable program | .exe
Dynamic link library | .dll
Virtual Device Driver | .vdd
Physical Device Driver | .sys

If you do not use the /OUT option, then the linker uses the filename of the first object file you specified, with the appropriate extension.
