DESCRIPTION

24       The check-abi script reports any potential ABI conflicts in the files
25       specified.  This includes the use of the -fshort-enums option, the
26       -fstack-protector option and the -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE option.  All of
27       these can affect passing data between functions and hence should be
28       used uniformly throughout the binary.
29
30       The script accepts the following command line options:
31
32       --help
33       -h  Displays the usage of the script and then exits.
34
35       --version
36       -v  Displays the version of the script.
37
38       --verbose
39       -V  Enables verbose mode, causing the script to detail each action it
40           takes.
41
42       --quiet
43       -q  Do not include the name of script in the out generated by the
44           script.
45
46       --silent
47       -s  Produce no output.  Just return an exit status.
48
49       --inconsitencies
50       -i  Only report files with potential ABI problems.
51
52       --ignore-unknown
53           Do not report file types that are not supported or recognised.
54
55       --ignore-ABI|enum|FORTIFY|stack-prot
56           Disables individual ABI checks.  Multiple occurences of this option
57           accumulate.  Possible option values are:
58
59           ABI Disable checks of the general ABI information.
60
61           enum
62               Disable checks of the -fshort-enum option.
63
64           FORTIFY
65               Disable checks of the -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE option.
66
67           stack-prot
68               Disable checks of the -fstack-protect option.
69
70       --tmpdir=dir
71       -t=dir
72           Directory to use to store temporary files.
73
74       --readelf=path
75       -r=path
76           Use the specified program to read the notes from the files.
77
78       --  Stop accumulating command line options.  This allows the script to
79           be run on files whose names starts with a dash.
