 \item \texttt{database DBSTRING} sets the string to pass to libpq to open a database connection.
 \item \texttt{debug} saves some intermediate C files, which is mostly useful to help in debugging the compiler itself.
 \item \texttt{effectful Module.ident} registers an FFI function or transaction as having side effects.  The optimizer avoids removing, moving, or duplicating calls to such functions.  This is the default behavior for \texttt{transaction}-based types.
-\item \texttt{exe FILENAME} sets the filename to which to write the output executable.  The default for file \texttt{P.urp} is \texttt{P.exe}.  
+\item \texttt{exe FILENAME} sets the filename to which to write the output executable.  The default for file \texttt{P.urp} is \texttt{P.exe}.
+\item \texttt{file URI FILENAME} asks for the application executable to respond to requests for \texttt{URI} by serving a snapshot of the contents of \texttt{FILENAME} as of compile time.  That is, the file contents are baked into the executable.  System file \texttt{/etc/mime.types} is consulted (again, at compile time) to figure out the right MIME type to suggest in the HTTP response.
 \item \texttt{ffi FILENAME} reads the file \texttt{FILENAME.urs} to determine the interface to a new FFI module.  The name of the module is calculated from \texttt{FILENAME} in the same way as for normal source files.  See the files \texttt{include/urweb/urweb\_cpp.h} and \texttt{src/c/urweb.c} for examples of C headers and implementations for FFI modules.  In general, every type or value \texttt{Module.ident} becomes \texttt{uw\_Module\_ident} in C.
 \item \texttt{html5} activates work-in-progress support for generating HTML5 instead of XHTML.  For now, this option only affects the first few tokens on any page, which are always the same.
 \item \texttt{include FILENAME} adds \texttt{FILENAME} to the list of files to be \texttt{\#include}d in C sources.  This is most useful for interfacing with new FFI modules.
