 # `/Fo` (Object File Name)
 
 Specifies an object (*`.obj`*) file name or directory to be used instead of the default.

 ## Example
 
+This command line demonstrates the format that allows for an optional space between the `/Fo` option and the *`pathname`* argument. It creates an object file named *`test.obj`* in the current directory.

+```cmd
+CL /Fo: "test" /EHsc /c sample1.cpp

 The following command line creates object files named *`sample1.obj`* and *`sample2.obj`* in an existing directory, *`D:\intermediate\`*. It uses escaped backslash characters as path segment separators in a quoted path:

     You can control the object file name and the named module interface file name with the following switches:
