Richard,

it's a switch you use when you invoke SDCC with intention to redirect its output to a file.

If you type:
C:>sdcc blinkey.c > blinkey.out
all the output of sdcc will go to the console window, and blinkey.out will have size of 0 bytes.
If you type
C:>sdcc --use-stdout blinkey.c > blinkey.out
the console remains empty and all the output of sdcc will go to blinkey.out.

Please, give it a try.

Jan
