NAME

6       nlmconv - converts object code into an NLM.

SYNOPSIS

9       nlmconv [-I bfdname|--input-target=bfdname]
10               [-O bfdname|--output-target=bfdname]
11               [-T headerfile|--header-file=headerfile]
12               [-d|--debug] [-l linker|--linker=linker]
13               [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
14               infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

17       nlmconv converts the relocatable i386 object file infile into the
18       NetWare Loadable Module outfile, optionally reading headerfile for NLM
19       header information.  For instructions on writing the NLM command file
20       language used in header files, see the linkers section, NLMLINK in
21       particular, of the NLM Development and Tools Overview, which is part of
22       the NLM Software Developer's Kit ("NLM SDK"), available from Novell,
23       Inc.  nlmconv uses the GNU Binary File Descriptor library to read
24       infile;
25
26       nlmconv can perform a link step.  In other words, you can list more
27       than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions file
28       (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line).  In
29       this case, nlmconv calls the linker for you.

OPTIONS

32       -I bfdname
33       --input-target=bfdname
34           Object format of the input file.  nlmconv can usually determine the
35           format of a given file (so no default is necessary).
36
37       -O bfdname
38       --output-target=bfdname
39           Object format of the output file.  nlmconv infers the output format
40           based on the input format, e.g. for a i386 input file the output
41           format is nlm32-i386.
42
43       -T headerfile
44       --header-file=headerfile
45           Reads headerfile for NLM header information.  For instructions on
46           writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see see
47           the linkers section, of the NLM Development and Tools Overview,
48           which is part of the NLM Software Developer's Kit, available from
49           Novell, Inc.
50
51       -d
52       --debug
53           Displays (on standard error) the linker command line used by
54           nlmconv.
55
56       -l linker
57       --linker=linker
58           Use linker for any linking.  linker can be an absolute or a
59           relative pathname.
60
61       -h
62       --help
63           Prints a usage summary.
64
65       -V
66       --version
67           Prints the version number for nlmconv.
68
69       @file
70           Read command-line options from file.  The options read are inserted
71           in place of the original @file option.  If file does not exist, or
72           cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not
73           removed.
74
75           Options in file are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
76           character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
77           option in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including
78           a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be
79           included with a backslash.  The file may itself contain additional
80           @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
