I have been working on troubleshooting a command line FreePascal project for a couple of weeks now and when I look in the project dir it is full of link files:

2021-09-12 10:23 23 900 link.res
2024-01-15 00:30 23 833 link11600.res 2024-01-13 10:39 23 833 link17204.res 2024-01-13 10:35 23 833 link19736.res 2024-01-13 10:43 23 833 link22340.res 2024-01-13 10:45 23 833 link23748.res 2024-01-13 13:35 23 833 link24944.res 2024-01-13 10:41 23 833 link25456.res 2024-01-13 21:15 25 743 link3564.res
2024-01-13 13:40 23 833 link5720.res

Of course I can delete them but why has this happened? Should these not be temporary or else located below the lib dir somewhere?

And what are they used for?

Lazarus 2.2.4/Fpc 3.2.2 on Windows 10 x64

If the linking stage fails (or some other external tool) then this file is left, it helps to examine what happened.

You can delete them.
