/BK[pathname]
The optional pathname follows immediately within the one command-line token.
This option has no syntactic relations with other options.
However, it does influence the -il option that passes to all the compiler modules.
The /BK option is exactly /Bk with the addition of suppressing the front-end C and C++ compilers.
A use for /BK, if not the only use, is to help perform the compilation and code-generation stages of compilation as separate operations, presumably so that the intermediate files created by the one can be inspected (or edited) before proceeding to the other. Thus, run CL with the /Bk and /Zs options, which respectively keep the intermediate files and limit execution to the front-end compilers. Then run CL with the /BK option, naming those same intermediate files, to resume (with processing or code generation) where the front end left off.
