/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb LINK, Qualifiers, /SYMBOL_TABLE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /SYMBOL_TABLE[=file-spec]
       /NOSYMBOL_TABLE (default)

    Directs the linker to create a symbol table file.

    The file-spec specifies the character string you want the linker
    to use as the name of the symbol table file. If you do not
    include a file type in the character string, the linker appends
    the .STB file type to the file name.

    If you specify the /SYMBOL_TABLE qualifier without the file
    specification, the linker creates a symbol table file with the
    file name of the first input file and the default file type .STB.
    If you append the /SYMBOL_TABLE qualifier to one of the input
    file specifications, the linker creates a symbol table file with
    the file name of the file to which the qualifier is appended,
    with the default file type .STB.
