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.

NLMCONV(1)            GNU Development Tools            NLMCONV(1)

         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.

     @file
         Read command-line options from file.  The options read
         are inserted in place of the original @file option.  If
         file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option
         will be treated literally, and not removed.

         Options in file are separated by whitespace.  A
         whitespace character may be included in an option by
         surrounding the entire option in either single or double
         quotes.  Any character (including a backslash) may be
         included by prefixing the character to be included with
         a backslash.  The file may itself contain additional
         @file options; any such options will be processed
         recursively.
