	##-target <target>##

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	Selects the target platform used by the compiler.

	The target controls the predefined platform symbols, default object format,
	library search paths, runtime startup code, and platform-specific compiler
	behavior.

	Common target names include:

		##dos##
		##dos-hx##
		##win32##
		##win64##
		##win32-aarch64##
		##wince-arm##
		##wince-mips##
		##cygwin##
		##linux##
		##haiku##
		##freebsd##
		##dragonfly##
		##netbsd##
		##openbsd##
		##darwin##
		##solaris##
		##illumos##
		##android##
		##js-asmjs##
		##xbox##
		##wii##
		##nuttx##
		##riscos##
		##aros##

	Some targets may also be selected through a GNU-style target triplet such
	as ##linux-x86_64##, ##linux-arm##, ##android-aarch64##, or
	##freebsd-x86_64##.

	For some cross targets, helper commands may be installed alongside the
	compiler.  Those helpers are usually the best entry point:

		##fbc-js##
		##fbc-android##
		##fbc-wii##
		##fbc-xbox##

	Those commands supply the SDK, linker, runtime, and packaging options
	expected by their platform.

	##dos-hx## selects the x86 Win32 ABI for a 32-bit PE program intended for
	the HX DOS extender.  It uses the normal Win32 runtime, including its
	preemptive thread and Winsock calls; it is not the DJGPP DOS ABI.  Build the
	program with an x86 Win32 toolchain, then apply HX's ##PatchPE## packaging
	step before running it under DOS.

==Predefined target symbols==

	The compiler defines ##__FB_<TARGET>__## for the selected target.  For
	example:

		##-target android## defines ##__FB_ANDROID__##
		##-target haiku## defines ##__FB_HAIKU__##
		##-target dragonfly## defines ##__FB_DRAGONFLY__##
		##-target solaris## defines ##__FB_SOLARIS__##
		##-target illumos## defines ##__FB_ILLUMOS__##
		##-target js-asmjs## defines ##__FB_JS__##
		##-target xbox## defines ##__FB_XBOX__##
		##-target wii## defines ##__FB_WII__##
		##-target nuttx## defines ##__FB_NUTTX__##
		##-target riscos## defines ##__FB_RISCOS__##
		##-target aros## defines ##__FB_AROS__##

	Portable programs should use these predefined symbols when platform-specific
	code is required.
