 A few other named directives are supported.  \texttt{prefix PREFIX} sets the prefix included before every URI within the generated application; the default is \texttt{/}.  \texttt{exe FILENAME} sets the filename to which to write the output executable; the default for file \texttt{P.urp} is \texttt{P.exe}.  \texttt{debug} saves some intermediate C files, which is mostly useful to help in debugging the compiler itself.  \texttt{profile} generates an executable that may be used with gprof.
