nlmconv converts the relocatable `i386' object file
infile into the NetWare Loadable Module outfile, optionally
reading headerfile for NLM header information. For instructions
on writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see the
`linkers' section, `NLMLINK' in particular, of the NLM
Development and Tools Overview, which is part of the NLM Software
Developer's Kit ("NLM SDK"), available from Novell, Inc.
nlmconv uses the GNU Binary File Descriptor library to read
infile; see section `BFD' in Using LD, for
more information.
nlmconv can perform a link step. In other words, you can list
more than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions
file (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line).
In this case, nlmconv calls the linker for you.
-I bfdname
--input-target=bfdname
Object format of the input file. nlmconv can usually determine
the format of a given file (so no default is necessary).
See section 13.1 Target Selection, for more information.
-O bfdname
--output-target=bfdname
Object format of the output file. nlmconv infers the output
format based on the input format, e.g. for a `i386' input file the
output format is `nlm32-i386'.
See section 13.1 Target Selection, for more information.
-T headerfile
--header-file=headerfile
Reads headerfile for NLM header information. For instructions on
writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see see the
`linkers' section, of the NLM Development and Tools
Overview, which is part of the NLM Software Developer's Kit, available
from Novell, Inc.
-d
--debug
Displays (on standard error) the linker command line used by nlmconv.
-l linker
--linker=linker
Use linker for any linking. linker can be an abosolute or a
relative pathname.
