Hi,
I have seen the below command for csh shell:

"setenv CPPFLAGS -I$(IODBC_INSTALLDIR)/include"

Can someone please explain to me what the "-I" option in the above
command stands for. I have tried searching extensively over the
internet but was of no use. Also what would be the equivalent command
in bash shell.

It is setting an environment variable for C++ compiler flags for what
looks like the iODBC database system. The -I would be setting a path to
search for include files. The bash equivalent would be something like

export CPPFLAGS="-I$IODBC_INSTALLDIR/include"
