.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIm3fe\fP combines a compiler front-end, a tool to warn on
probable errors and unused names, and a tool to warn about
code fragments that depend on the fact that the CHAR type has only 256 
elements.
.PP
\fIm3fe\fP can handle many source files
in one run and is therefore a convenient way to check an entire
directory of source at a time. Imported interfaces are compiled
only once.
.PP
Unless otherwise stated all diagnostic or informative output is written
to the standard error stream.
.SH OPTIONS
Capitalisation indicates the alternate short form of an option keyword.
