nlmconv - converts object code into an NLM.


SYNOPSIS

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


DESCRIPTION

       `nlmconv' converts the relocatable i386 object file infile
       into the NetWare Loadable Module outfile, optionally read­
       ing  headerfile  for NLM header information.  For instruc­
       tions on writing the NLM command  file  language  used  in
       header files, see the linkers section, NLMLINK in particu­
       lar, 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;

       `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 specify­
       ing one input file on the command line).   In  this  case,
       `nlmconv' calls the linker for you.


OPTIONS

       `-I bfdname'

       `--input-target=bfdname'
           Object  format  of the input file.  `nlmconv' can usu­
           ally determine the format  of  a  given  file  (so  no
           default is necessary).

       `-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.

       `-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.


       `--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 absolute
           or a relative pathname.

       `-h'

       `--help'
           Prints a usage summary.

       `-V'

       `--version'
           Prints the version number for `nlmconv'.
