1 'nlmconv' converts a relocatable object file into a NetWare Loadable
1 Module.
1
1 _Warning:_ 'nlmconv' is not always built as part of the binary
1 utilities, since it is only useful for NLM targets.

1 'nlmconv' converts the relocatable 'i386' object file INFILE into the
1 NetWare Loadable Module OUTFILE, optionally reading HEADERFILE for NLM
1 header information. For instructions on writing the NLM command file
1 language used in header files, see the 'linkers' section, 'NLMLINK' in
1 particular, of the 'NLM Development and Tools Overview', which is part
1 of the NLM Software Developer's Kit ("NLM SDK"), available from Novell,
1 Inc. 'nlmconv' uses the GNU Binary File Descriptor library to read
1 INFILE; see ⇒BFD (ld.info)BFD, for more information.
1
1 'nlmconv' can perform a link step. In other words, you can list more
1 than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions file
1 (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line). In
1 this case, 'nlmconv' calls the linker for you.
1
1 '-I BFDNAME'
1 '--input-target=BFDNAME'
1 Object format of the input file. 'nlmconv' can usually determine
11 the format of a given file (so no default is necessary). ⇒
Target Selection, for more information.
1
1 '-O BFDNAME'
1 '--output-target=BFDNAME'
1 Object format of the output file. 'nlmconv' infers the output
1 format based on the input format, e.g. for a 'i386' input file the
1 output format is 'nlm32-i386'. ⇒Target Selection, for more
1 information.
1
1 '-T HEADERFILE'
1 '--header-file=HEADERFILE'
1 Reads HEADERFILE for NLM header information. For instructions on
1 writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see see
1 the 'linkers' section, of the 'NLM Development and Tools Overview',
1 which is part of the NLM Software Developer's Kit, available from
1 Novell, Inc.
1
1 '-d'
1 '--debug'
1 Displays (on standard error) the linker command line used by
1 'nlmconv'.
1
1 '-l LINKER'
1 '--linker=LINKER'
1 Use LINKER for any linking. LINKER can be an absolute or a
1 relative pathname.
1
1 '-h'
1 '--help'
1 Prints a usage summary.
1
1 '-V'
1 '--version'
1 Prints the version number for 'nlmconv'.
