NLMCONV(1)            GNU Development Tools            NLMCONV(1)

NAME

     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 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;

     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.

OPTIONS

     -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).

     -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.
