>From 'man xlc_r':

  C for AIX Compiler

  Usage:
     xlc [ option | inputfile ]...
     cc [ option | inputfile ]...
     c89 [ option | inputfile ]...
     xlC [ option | inputfile ]...
     xlc128 [ option | inputfile ]...
     cc128 [ option | inputfile ]...
     xlC128 [ option | inputfile ]...
     xlc_r [ option | inputfile ]...
     cc_r [ option | inputfile ]...
     xlC_r [ option | inputfile ]...
     icc [ option | inputfile ]...
     ixlc [ option | inputfile ]...
     ic89 [ option | inputfile ]...
     ixlc128 [ option | inputfile ]...
     icc128 [ option | inputfile ]...
     ixlc_r [ option | inputfile ]...
     icc_r [ option | inputfile ]...

  Description:
     The xlc and related commands compile C source files.
     They also processes assembler source files and object files. Unless the
     -c option is specified, xlc calls the linkage editor to produce a
     single object file. Input files may be any of the following:
       1. file name with .c suffix: C source file
       2. file name with .i suffix: preprocessed C source file
       4. file name with .o suffix: object file for ld command
       5. file name with .s suffix: assembler source file
