/DELAY

Syntax:

/DELAY:{unload|nobind}

Controls delayed loading of DDLs:

• /DELAY:unload tells the delay-load helper function to support explicit unloading of the DLL by resetting the IAT to its original form, invalidating IAT pointers and causing them to be overwritten.
  
  
• /DELAY:nobind tells the linker not to include a bindable IAT in the final image. The resulting image cannot be statically bound. (Images with bindable IATs may be statically bound prior to execution.)

To specify DLLs to delay load, use the /DELAYLOAD option.
