8.2.3.21 O: Specify Output File Hexmate Option

When using the -ofile option, the generated Intel HEX output will be created in the specified file. For example:

-oprogram.hex

will save the resultant output to program.hex. The output file can take the same name as one of its input files but, by doing so, it will replace the input file entirely.

If this option is used without a filename, no output is produced, which may be useful if you want to use Hexmate to only show the size of a HEX file, for example. If this option is not used at all, the content of the output HEX file is printed to the standard output stream.
