What is the purpose of suffix rules in make?

To define specific compile-time optimizations
To abbreviate actions based on file name suffixes
To clean up object files after compilation
To link external libraries only when needed

The correct answer is: To abbreviate actions based on file name suffixes

The purpose of suffix rules in make is to abbreviate actions based on file name suffixes. This allows make to perform certain tasks based on the type of files that are processed, making it easier and more efficient for developers. Option A is incorrect because suffix rules do not deal with optimizations. Option C is incorrect because suffix rules do not clean up object files after compilation. Option D is incorrect because suffix rules have nothing to do with linking external libraries.
