1 **********
1 
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 [-I BFDNAME|--input-target=BFDNAME]
1              [-O BFDNAME|--output-target=BFDNAME]
1              [-T HEADERFILE|--header-file=HEADERFILE]

1              INFILE OUTFILE
1 
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'.
