+\&\fBaddr2line\fR translates addresses into file names and line numbers.
+Given an address in an executable or an offset in a section of a relocatable
+object, it uses the debugging information to figure out which file name and
+line number are associated with it.
+.PP
+The executable or relocatable object to use is specified with the \fB\-e\fR
+option. The default is the file \fIa.out\fR. The section in the relocatable
+object to use is specified with the \fB\-j\fR option.
+.PP
+\&\fBaddr2line\fR has two modes of operation.
+.PP
+In the first, hexadecimal addresses are specified on the command line,
+and \fBaddr2line\fR displays the file name and line number for each
+address.
+.PP
+In the second, \fBaddr2line\fR reads hexadecimal addresses from
+standard input, and prints the file name and line number for each
+address on standard output. In this mode, \fBaddr2line\fR may be used
+in a pipe to convert dynamically chosen addresses.
+.PP
+The format of the output is \fB\s-1FILENAME:LINENO\s0\fR. The file name and
+line number for each address is printed on a separate line. If the
+\&\fB\-f\fR option is used, then each \fB\s-1FILENAME:LINENO\s0\fR line is
+preceded by a \fB\s-1FUNCTIONNAME\s0\fR line which is the name of the function
+containing the address.
+.PP
+If the file name or function name can not be determined,
+\&\fBaddr2line\fR will print two question marks in their place. If the
+line number can not be determined, \fBaddr2line\fR will print 0.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR program creates, modifies, and extracts from
+archives. An \fIarchive\fR is a single file holding a collection of
+other files in a structure that makes it possible to retrieve
+the original individual files (called \fImembers\fR of the archive).
+.PP
+The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner, and
+group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
+extraction.
+.PP
+\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR can maintain archives whose members have names of any
+length; however, depending on how \fBar\fR is configured on your
+system, a limit on member-name length may be imposed for compatibility
+with archive formats maintained with other tools. If it exists, the
+limit is often 15 characters (typical of formats related to a.out) or 16
+characters (typical of formats related to coff).
+.PP
+\&\fBar\fR is considered a binary utility because archives of this sort
+are most often used as \fIlibraries\fR holding commonly needed
+subroutines.
+.PP
+\&\fBar\fR creates an index to the symbols defined in relocatable
+object modules in the archive when you specify the modifier \fBs\fR.
+Once created, this index is updated in the archive whenever \fBar\fR
+makes a change to its contents (save for the \fBq\fR update operation).
+An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the library, and
+allows routines in the library to call each other without regard to
+their placement in the archive.
+.PP
+You may use \fBnm \-s\fR or \fBnm \-\-print\-armap\fR to list this index
+table. If an archive lacks the table, another form of \fBar\fR called
+\&\fBranlib\fR can be used to add just the table.
+.PP
+\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR is designed to be compatible with two different
+facilities. You can control its activity using command-line options,
+like the different varieties of \fBar\fR on Unix systems; or, if you
+specify the single command-line option \fB\-M\fR, you can control it
+with a script supplied via standard input, like the \s-1MRI\s0 \*(L"librarian\*(R"
+program.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR allows you to mix the operation code \fIp\fR and modifier
+flags \fImod\fR in any order, within the first command-line argument.
+.PP
+If you wish, you may begin the first command-line argument with a
+dash.
+.PP
+The \fIp\fR keyletter specifies what operation to execute; it may be
+any of the following, but you must specify only one of them:
+.IP "\fBd\fR" 4
+.IX Item "d"
+\&\fIDelete\fR modules from the archive. Specify the names of modules to
+be deleted as \fImember\fR...; the archive is untouched if you
+specify no files to delete.
+.Sp
+If you specify the \fBv\fR modifier, \fBar\fR lists each module
+as it is deleted.
+.IP "\fBm\fR" 4
+.IX Item "m"
+Use this operation to \fImove\fR members in an archive.
+.Sp
+The ordering of members in an archive can make a difference in how
+programs are linked using the library, if a symbol is defined in more
+than one member.
+.Sp
+If no modifiers are used with \f(CW\*(C`m\*(C'\fR, any members you name in the
+\&\fImember\fR arguments are moved to the \fIend\fR of the archive;
+you can use the \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, or \fBi\fR modifiers to move them to a
+specified place instead.
+.IP "\fBp\fR" 4
+.IX Item "p"
+\&\fIPrint\fR the specified members of the archive, to the standard
+output file. If the \fBv\fR modifier is specified, show the member
+name before copying its contents to standard output.
+.Sp
+If you specify no \fImember\fR arguments, all the files in the archive are
+printed.
+.IP "\fBq\fR" 4
+.IX Item "q"
+\&\fIQuick append\fR; Historically, add the files \fImember\fR... to the end of
+\&\fIarchive\fR, without checking for replacement.
+.Sp
+The modifiers \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, and \fBi\fR do \fInot\fR affect this
+operation; new members are always placed at the end of the archive.
+.Sp
+The modifier \fBv\fR makes \fBar\fR list each file as it is appended.
+.Sp
+Since the point of this operation is speed, the archive's symbol table
+index is not updated, even if it already existed; you can use \fBar s\fR or
+\&\fBranlib\fR explicitly to update the symbol table index.
+.Sp
+However, too many different systems assume quick append rebuilds the
+index, so \s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR implements \fBq\fR as a synonym for \fBr\fR.
+.IP "\fBr\fR" 4
+.IX Item "r"
+Insert the files \fImember\fR... into \fIarchive\fR (with
+\&\fIreplacement\fR). This operation differs from \fBq\fR in that any
+previously existing members are deleted if their names match those being
+added.
+.Sp
+If one of the files named in \fImember\fR... does not exist, \fBar\fR
+displays an error message, and leaves undisturbed any existing members
+of the archive matching that name.
+.Sp
+By default, new members are added at the end of the file; but you may
+use one of the modifiers \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, or \fBi\fR to request
+placement relative to some existing member.
+.Sp
+The modifier \fBv\fR used with this operation elicits a line of
+output for each file inserted, along with one of the letters \fBa\fR or
+\&\fBr\fR to indicate whether the file was appended (no old member
+deleted) or replaced.
+.IP "\fBt\fR" 4
+.IX Item "t"
+Display a \fItable\fR listing the contents of \fIarchive\fR, or those
+of the files listed in \fImember\fR... that are present in the
+archive. Normally only the member name is shown; if you also want to
+see the modes (permissions), timestamp, owner, group, and size, you can
+request that by also specifying the \fBv\fR modifier.
+.Sp
+If you do not specify a \fImember\fR, all files in the archive
+are listed.
+.Sp
+If there is more than one file with the same name (say, \fBfie\fR) in
+an archive (say \fBb.a\fR), \fBar t b.a fie\fR lists only the
+first instance; to see them all, you must ask for a complete
+listing\-\-\-in our example, \fBar t b.a\fR.
+.IP "\fBx\fR" 4
+.IX Item "x"
+\&\fIExtract\fR members (named \fImember\fR) from the archive. You can
+use the \fBv\fR modifier with this operation, to request that
+\&\fBar\fR list each name as it extracts it.
+.Sp
+If you do not specify a \fImember\fR, all files in the archive
+are extracted.
+.PP
+A number of modifiers (\fImod\fR) may immediately follow the \fIp\fR
+keyletter, to specify variations on an operation's behavior:
+.IP "\fBa\fR" 4
+.IX Item "a"
+Add new files \fIafter\fR an existing member of the
+archive. If you use the modifier \fBa\fR, the name of an existing archive
+member must be present as the \fIrelpos\fR argument, before the
+\&\fIarchive\fR specification.
+.IP "\fBb\fR" 4
+.IX Item "b"
+Add new files \fIbefore\fR an existing member of the
+archive. If you use the modifier \fBb\fR, the name of an existing archive
+member must be present as the \fIrelpos\fR argument, before the
+\&\fIarchive\fR specification. (same as \fBi\fR).
+.IP "\fBc\fR" 4
+.IX Item "c"
+\&\fICreate\fR the archive. The specified \fIarchive\fR is always
+created if it did not exist, when you request an update. But a warning is
+issued unless you specify in advance that you expect to create it, by
+using this modifier.
+.IP "\fBf\fR" 4
+.IX Item "f"
+Truncate names in the archive. \s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR will normally permit file
+names of any length. This will cause it to create archives which are
+not compatible with the native \fBar\fR program on some systems. If
+this is a concern, the \fBf\fR modifier may be used to truncate file
+names when putting them in the archive.
+.IP "\fBi\fR" 4
+.IX Item "i"
+Insert new files \fIbefore\fR an existing member of the
+archive. If you use the modifier \fBi\fR, the name of an existing archive
+member must be present as the \fIrelpos\fR argument, before the
+\&\fIarchive\fR specification. (same as \fBb\fR).
+.IP "\fBl\fR" 4
+.IX Item "l"
+This modifier is accepted but not used.
+.IP "\fBN\fR" 4
+.IX Item "N"
+Uses the \fIcount\fR parameter. This is used if there are multiple
+entries in the archive with the same name. Extract or delete instance
+\&\fIcount\fR of the given name from the archive.
+.IP "\fBo\fR" 4
+.IX Item "o"
+Preserve the \fIoriginal\fR dates of members when extracting them. If
+you do not specify this modifier, files extracted from the archive
+are stamped with the time of extraction.
+.IP "\fBP\fR" 4
+.IX Item "P"
+Use the full path name when matching names in the archive. \s-1GNU\s0
+\&\fBar\fR can not create an archive with a full path name (such archives
+are not \s-1POSIX\s0 complaint), but other archive creators can. This option
+will cause \s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR to match file names using a complete path
+name, which can be convenient when extracting a single file from an
+archive created by another tool.
+.IP "\fBs\fR" 4
+.IX Item "s"
+Write an object-file index into the archive, or update an existing one,
+even if no other change is made to the archive. You may use this modifier
+flag either with any operation, or alone. Running \fBar s\fR on an
+archive is equivalent to running \fBranlib\fR on it.
+.IP "\fBS\fR" 4
+.IX Item "S"
+Do not generate an archive symbol table. This can speed up building a
+large library in several steps. The resulting archive can not be used
+with the linker. In order to build a symbol table, you must omit the
+\&\fBS\fR modifier on the last execution of \fBar\fR, or you must run
+\&\fBranlib\fR on the archive.
+.IP "\fBu\fR" 4
+.IX Item "u"
+Normally, \fBar r\fR... inserts all files
+listed into the archive. If you would like to insert \fIonly\fR those
+of the files you list that are newer than existing members of the same
+names, use this modifier. The \fBu\fR modifier is allowed only for the
+operation \fBr\fR (replace). In particular, the combination \fBqu\fR is
+not allowed, since checking the timestamps would lose any speed
+advantage from the operation \fBq\fR.
+.IP "\fBv\fR" 4
+.IX Item "v"
+This modifier requests the \fIverbose\fR version of an operation. Many
+operations display additional information, such as filenames processed,
+when the modifier \fBv\fR is appended.
+.IP "\fBV\fR" 4
+.IX Item "V"
+This modifier shows the version number of \fBar\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBar\fR ignores an initial option spelt \fB\-X32_64\fR, for
+compatibility with \s-1AIX\s0. The behaviour produced by this option is the
+default for \s-1GNU\s0 \fBar\fR. \fBar\fR does not support any of the other
+\&\fB\-X\fR options; in particular, it does not support \fB\-X32\fR
+which is the default for \s-1AIX\s0 \fBar\fR.
+.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
+.IX Item "@file"
+Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are
+inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR
+does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
+literally, and not removed.
+.Sp
+Options in \fIfile\fR 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 \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
+@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBas\fR is really a family of assemblers.
+If you use (or have used) the \s-1GNU\s0 assembler on one architecture, you
+should find a fairly similar environment when you use it on another
+architecture. Each version has much in common with the others,
+including object file formats, most assembler directives (often called
+\&\fIpseudo-ops\fR) and assembler syntax.
+.PP
+\&\fBas\fR is primarily intended to assemble the output of the
+\&\s-1GNU\s0 C compiler \f(CW\*(C`gcc\*(C'\fR for use by the linker
+\&\f(CW\*(C`ld\*(C'\fR. Nevertheless, we've tried to make \fBas\fR
+assemble correctly everything that other assemblers for the same
+machine would assemble.
+Any exceptions are documented explicitly.
+This doesn't mean \fBas\fR always uses the same syntax as another
+assembler for the same architecture; for example, we know of several
+incompatible versions of 680x0 assembly language syntax.
+.PP
+Each time you run \fBas\fR it assembles exactly one source
+program. The source program is made up of one or more files.
+(The standard input is also a file.)
+.PP
+You give \fBas\fR a command line that has zero or more input file
+names. The input files are read (from left file name to right). A
+command line argument (in any position) that has no special meaning
+is taken to be an input file name.
+.PP
+If you give \fBas\fR no file names it attempts to read one input file
+from the \fBas\fR standard input, which is normally your terminal. You
+may have to type \fBctl-D\fR to tell \fBas\fR there is no more program
+to assemble.
+.PP
+Use \fB\-\-\fR if you need to explicitly name the standard input file
+in your command line.
+.PP
+If the source is empty, \fBas\fR produces a small, empty object
+file.
+.PP
+\&\fBas\fR may write warnings and error messages to the standard error
+file (usually your terminal). This should not happen when a compiler
+runs \fBas\fR automatically. Warnings report an assumption made so
+that \fBas\fR could keep assembling a flawed program; errors report a
+grave problem that stops the assembly.
+.PP
+If you are invoking \fBas\fR via the \s-1GNU\s0 C compiler,
+you can use the \fB\-Wa\fR option to pass arguments through to the assembler.
+The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the \fB\-Wa\fR)
+by commas. For example:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& gcc \-c \-g \-O \-Wa,\-alh,\-L file.c
+.Ve
+.PP
+This passes two options to the assembler: \fB\-alh\fR (emit a listing to
+standard output with high-level and assembly source) and \fB\-L\fR (retain
+local symbols in the symbol table).
+.PP
+Usually you do not need to use this \fB\-Wa\fR mechanism, since many compiler
+command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler.
+(You can call the \s-1GNU\s0 compiler driver with the \fB\-v\fR option to see
+precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the
+assembler.)
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
+.IX Item "@file"
+Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are
+inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR
+does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
+literally, and not removed.
+.Sp
+Options in \fIfile\fR 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 \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
+@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.

+requirements at the expense of speed.
+.IP "\fB\-\-reduce\-memory\-overheads\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--reduce-memory-overheads"
+This option reduces \s-1GAS\s0's memory requirements, at the expense of making the

+ld [\fBoptions\fR] \fIobjfile\fR ...
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBld\fR combines a number of object and archive files, relocates
+their data and ties up symbol references. Usually the last step in
+compiling a program is to run \fBld\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBld\fR accepts Linker Command Language files written in
+a superset of \s-1AT&T\s0's Link Editor Command Language syntax,
+to provide explicit and total control over the linking process.
+.PP
+This man page does not describe the command language; see the
+\&\fBld\fR entry in \f(CW\*(C`info\*(C'\fR for full details on the command
+language and on other aspects of the \s-1GNU\s0 linker.
+.PP
+This version of \fBld\fR uses the general purpose \s-1BFD\s0 libraries
+to operate on object files. This allows \fBld\fR to read, combine, and
+write object files in many different formats\-\-\-for example, \s-1COFF\s0 or
+\&\f(CW\*(C`a.out\*(C'\fR. Different formats may be linked together to produce any
+available kind of object file.
+.PP
+Aside from its flexibility, the \s-1GNU\s0 linker is more helpful than other
+linkers in providing diagnostic information. Many linkers abandon
+execution immediately upon encountering an error; whenever possible,
+\&\fBld\fR continues executing, allowing you to identify other errors
+(or, in some cases, to get an output file in spite of the error).
+.PP
+The \s-1GNU\s0 linker \fBld\fR is meant to cover a broad range of situations,
+and to be as compatible as possible with other linkers. As a result,
+you have many choices to control its behavior.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+The linker supports a plethora of command-line options, but in actual
+practice few of them are used in any particular context.
+For instance, a frequent use of \fBld\fR is to link standard Unix
+object files on a standard, supported Unix system. On such a system, to
+link a file \f(CW\*(C`hello.o\*(C'\fR:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& ld \-o <output> /lib/crt0.o hello.o \-lc
+.Ve
+.PP
+This tells \fBld\fR to produce a file called \fIoutput\fR as the
+result of linking the file \f(CW\*(C`/lib/crt0.o\*(C'\fR with \f(CW\*(C`hello.o\*(C'\fR and
+the library \f(CW\*(C`libc.a\*(C'\fR, which will come from the standard search
+directories. (See the discussion of the \fB\-l\fR option below.)
+.PP
+Some of the command-line options to \fBld\fR may be specified at any
+point in the command line. However, options which refer to files, such
+as \fB\-l\fR or \fB\-T\fR, cause the file to be read at the point at
+which the option appears in the command line, relative to the object
+files and other file options. Repeating non-file options with a
+different argument will either have no further effect, or override prior
+occurrences (those further to the left on the command line) of that
+option. Options which may be meaningfully specified more than once are
+noted in the descriptions below.
+.PP
+Non-option arguments are object files or archives which are to be linked
+together. They may follow, precede, or be mixed in with command-line
+options, except that an object file argument may not be placed between
+an option and its argument.
+.PP
+Usually the linker is invoked with at least one object file, but you can
+specify other forms of binary input files using \fB\-l\fR, \fB\-R\fR,
+and the script command language. If \fIno\fR binary input files at all
+are specified, the linker does not produce any output, and issues the
+message \fBNo input files\fR.
+.PP
+If the linker cannot recognize the format of an object file, it will
+assume that it is a linker script. A script specified in this way
+augments the main linker script used for the link (either the default
+linker script or the one specified by using \fB\-T\fR). This feature
+permits the linker to link against a file which appears to be an object
+or an archive, but actually merely defines some symbol values, or uses
+\&\f(CW\*(C`INPUT\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`GROUP\*(C'\fR to load other objects. Note that
+specifying a script in this way merely augments the main linker script;
+use the \fB\-T\fR option to replace the default linker script entirely.
+.PP
+For options whose names are a single letter,
+option arguments must either follow the option letter without intervening
+whitespace, or be given as separate arguments immediately following the
+option that requires them.

+For options whose names are multiple letters, either one dash or two can
+precede the option name; for example, \fB\-trace\-symbol\fR and
+\&\fB\-\-trace\-symbol\fR are equivalent. Note\-\-\-there is one exception to
+this rule. Multiple letter options that start with a lower case 'o' can
+only be preceded by two dashes. This is to reduce confusion with the
+\&\fB\-o\fR option. So for example \fB\-omagic\fR sets the output file
+name to \fBmagic\fR whereas \fB\-\-omagic\fR sets the \s-1NMAGIC\s0 flag on the
+output.
+.PP
+Arguments to multiple-letter options must either be separated from the
+option name by an equals sign, or be given as separate arguments
+immediately following the option that requires them. For example,
+\&\fB\-\-trace\-symbol foo\fR and \fB\-\-trace\-symbol=foo\fR are equivalent.
+Unique abbreviations of the names of multiple-letter options are
+accepted.
+.PP
+Note\-\-\-if the linker is being invoked indirectly, via a compiler driver
+(e.g. \fBgcc\fR) then all the linker command line options should be
+prefixed by \fB\-Wl,\fR (or whatever is appropriate for the particular
+compiler driver) like this:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& gcc \-Wl,\-\-startgroup foo.o bar.o \-Wl,\-\-endgroup
+.Ve
+.PP
+This is important, because otherwise the compiler driver program may
+silently drop the linker options, resulting in a bad link.

+Here is a table of the generic command line switches accepted by the \s-1GNU\s0
+linker:
+.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
+.IX Item "@file"
+Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are
+inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR
+does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
+literally, and not removed.
+.Sp
+Options in \fIfile\fR 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 \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
+@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
+.IP "\fB\-a\fR\fIkeyword\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-akeyword"
+This option is supported for \s-1HP/UX\s0 compatibility. The \fIkeyword\fR
+argument must be one of the strings \fBarchive\fR, \fBshared\fR, or
+\&\fBdefault\fR. \fB\-aarchive\fR is functionally equivalent to
+\&\fB\-Bstatic\fR, and the other two keywords are functionally equivalent
+to \fB\-Bdynamic\fR. This option may be used any number of times.

+.PD
+In the current release of \fBld\fR, this option is useful only for the
+Intel 960 family of architectures. In that \fBld\fR configuration, the
+\&\fIarchitecture\fR argument identifies the particular architecture in
+the 960 family, enabling some safeguards and modifying the
+archive-library search path.

+.PD
+\&\fBld\fR may be configured to support more than one kind of object
+file. If your \fBld\fR is configured this way, you can use the
+\&\fB\-b\fR option to specify the binary format for input object files
+that follow this option on the command line. Even when \fBld\fR is
+configured to support alternative object formats, you don't usually need
+to specify this, as \fBld\fR should be configured to expect as a
+default input format the most usual format on each machine.
+\&\fIinput-format\fR is a text string, the name of a particular format
+supported by the \s-1BFD\s0 libraries. (You can list the available binary
+formats with \fBobjdump \-i\fR.)
+.Sp
+You may want to use this option if you are linking files with an unusual
+binary format. You can also use \fB\-b\fR to switch formats explicitly (when
+linking object files of different formats), by including
+\&\fB\-b\fR \fIinput-format\fR before each group of object files in a
+particular format.
+.Sp
+The default format is taken from the environment variable

+Use \fIentry\fR as the explicit symbol for beginning execution of your

+named \fIentry\fR, the linker will try to parse \fIentry\fR as a number,
+and use that as the entry address (the number will be interpreted in
+base 10; you may use a leading \fB0x\fR for base 16, or a leading
+\&\fB0\fR for base 8).
+.IP "\fB\-\-exclude\-libs\fR \fIlib\fR\fB,\fR\fIlib\fR\fB,...\fR" 4

+Specifies a list of archive libraries from which symbols should not be automatically
+exported. The library names may be delimited by commas or colons. Specifying
+\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-exclude\-libs ALL\*(C'\fR excludes symbols in all archive libraries from
+automatic export. This option is available only for the i386 \s-1PE\s0 targeted
+port of the linker and for \s-1ELF\s0 targeted ports. For i386 \s-1PE\s0, symbols
+explicitly listed in a .def file are still exported, regardless of this
+option. For \s-1ELF\s0 targeted ports, symbols affected by this option will
+be treated as hidden.

+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-export\-dynamic\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--export-dynamic"
+.PD
+When creating a dynamically linked executable, add all symbols to the
+dynamic symbol table. The dynamic symbol table is the set of symbols
+which are visible from dynamic objects at run time.
+.Sp
+If you do not use this option, the dynamic symbol table will normally
+contain only those symbols which are referenced by some dynamic object
+mentioned in the link.
+.Sp
+If you use \f(CW\*(C`dlopen\*(C'\fR to load a dynamic object which needs to refer
+back to the symbols defined by the program, rather than some other
+dynamic object, then you will probably need to use this option when
+linking the program itself.
+.Sp
+You can also use the dynamic list to control what symbols should
+be added to the dynamic symbol table if the output format supports it.
+See the description of \fB\-\-dynamic\-list\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-EB\fR" 4

+.IX Item "--auxiliary name"
+.PD
+When creating an \s-1ELF\s0 shared object, set the internal \s-1DT_AUXILIARY\s0 field
+to the specified name. This tells the dynamic linker that the symbol
+table of the shared object should be used as an auxiliary filter on the
+symbol table of the shared object \fIname\fR.
+.Sp
+If you later link a program against this filter object, then, when you
+run the program, the dynamic linker will see the \s-1DT_AUXILIARY\s0 field. If
+the dynamic linker resolves any symbols from the filter object, it will
+first check whether there is a definition in the shared object
+\&\fIname\fR. If there is one, it will be used instead of the definition
+in the filter object. The shared object \fIname\fR need not exist.
+Thus the shared object \fIname\fR may be used to provide an alternative
+implementation of certain functions, perhaps for debugging or for
+machine specific performance.
+.Sp
+This option may be specified more than once. The \s-1DT_AUXILIARY\s0 entries
+will be created in the order in which they appear on the command line.
+.IP "\fB\-F\fR \fIname\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-F name"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-filter\fR \fIname\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--filter name"
+.PD
+When creating an \s-1ELF\s0 shared object, set the internal \s-1DT_FILTER\s0 field to
+the specified name. This tells the dynamic linker that the symbol table
+of the shared object which is being created should be used as a filter
+on the symbol table of the shared object \fIname\fR.
+.Sp
+If you later link a program against this filter object, then, when you
+run the program, the dynamic linker will see the \s-1DT_FILTER\s0 field. The
+dynamic linker will resolve symbols according to the symbol table of the
+filter object as usual, but it will actually link to the definitions
+found in the shared object \fIname\fR. Thus the filter object can be
+used to select a subset of the symbols provided by the object
+\&\fIname\fR.
+.Sp
+Some older linkers used the \fB\-F\fR option throughout a compilation
+toolchain for specifying object-file format for both input and output
+object files.
+The \s-1GNU\s0 linker uses other mechanisms for this purpose: the
+\&\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-format\fR, \fB\-\-oformat\fR options, the
+\&\f(CW\*(C`TARGET\*(C'\fR command in linker scripts, and the \f(CW\*(C`GNUTARGET\*(C'\fR
+environment variable.
+The \s-1GNU\s0 linker will ignore the \fB\-F\fR option when not
+creating an \s-1ELF\s0 shared object.
+.IP "\fB\-fini\fR \fIname\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-fini name"
+When creating an \s-1ELF\s0 executable or shared object, call \s-1NAME\s0 when the
+executable or shared object is unloaded, by setting \s-1DT_FINI\s0 to the
+address of the function. By default, the linker uses \f(CW\*(C`_fini\*(C'\fR as
+the function to call.

+Set the maximum size of objects to be optimized using the \s-1GP\s0 register to
+\&\fIsize\fR. This is only meaningful for object file formats such as

+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-soname=\fR\fIname\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-soname=name"
+.PD
+When creating an \s-1ELF\s0 shared object, set the internal \s-1DT_SONAME\s0 field to
+the specified name. When an executable is linked with a shared object
+which has a \s-1DT_SONAME\s0 field, then when the executable is run the dynamic
+linker will attempt to load the shared object specified by the \s-1DT_SONAME\s0
+field rather than the using the file name given to the linker.
+.IP "\fB\-i\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-i"
+Perform an incremental link (same as option \fB\-r\fR).
+.IP "\fB\-init\fR \fIname\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-init name"
+When creating an \s-1ELF\s0 executable or shared object, call \s-1NAME\s0 when the
+executable or shared object is loaded, by setting \s-1DT_INIT\s0 to the address
+of the function. By default, the linker uses \f(CW\*(C`_init\*(C'\fR as the
+function to call.
+.IP "\fB\-l\fR\fInamespec\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-lnamespec"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-library=\fR\fInamespec\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--library=namespec"
+.PD
+Add the archive or object file specified by \fInamespec\fR to the
+list of files to link. This option may be used any number of times.
+If \fInamespec\fR is of the form \fI:\fIfilename\fI\fR, \fBld\fR
+will search the library path for a file called \fIfilename\fR, otherise it
+will search the library path for a file called \fIlib\fInamespec\fI.a\fR.
+.Sp
+On systems which support shared libraries, \fBld\fR may also search for
+files other than \fIlib\fInamespec\fI.a\fR. Specifically, on \s-1ELF\s0
+and SunOS systems, \fBld\fR will search a directory for a library
+called \fIlib\fInamespec\fI.so\fR before searching for one called
+\&\fIlib\fInamespec\fI.a\fR. (By convention, a \f(CW\*(C`.so\*(C'\fR extension
+indicates a shared library.) Note that this behavior does not apply
+to \fI:\fIfilename\fI\fR, which always specifies a file called
+\&\fIfilename\fR.
+.Sp
+The linker will search an archive only once, at the location where it is
+specified on the command line. If the archive defines a symbol which
+was undefined in some object which appeared before the archive on the
+command line, the linker will include the appropriate file(s) from the
+archive. However, an undefined symbol in an object appearing later on
+the command line will not cause the linker to search the archive again.
+.Sp
+See the \fB\-(\fR option for a way to force the linker to search
+archives multiple times.
+.Sp
+You may list the same archive multiple times on the command line.
+.Sp
+This type of archive searching is standard for Unix linkers. However,
+if you are using \fBld\fR on \s-1AIX\s0, note that it is different from the
+behaviour of the \s-1AIX\s0 linker.

+Add path \fIsearchdir\fR to the list of paths that \fBld\fR will search
+for archive libraries and \fBld\fR control scripts. You may use this
+option any number of times. The directories are searched in the order
+in which they are specified on the command line. Directories specified
+on the command line are searched before the default directories. All
+\&\fB\-L\fR options apply to all \fB\-l\fR options, regardless of the
+order in which the options appear.
+.Sp
+If \fIsearchdir\fR begins with \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR, then the \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR will be replaced
+by the \fIsysroot prefix\fR, a path specified when the linker is configured.
+.Sp
+The default set of paths searched (without being specified with
+\&\fB\-L\fR) depends on which emulation mode \fBld\fR is using, and in
+some cases also on how it was configured.
+.Sp
+The paths can also be specified in a link script with the
+\&\f(CW\*(C`SEARCH_DIR\*(C'\fR command. Directories specified this way are searched
+at the point in which the linker script appears in the command line.

+Note \- symbols whose values are computed by an expression which
+involves a reference to a previous value of the same symbol may not
+have correct result displayed in the link map. This is because the
+linker discards intermediate results and only retains the final value
+of an expression. Under such circumstances the linker will display
+the final value enclosed by square brackets. Thus for example a
+linker script containing:
+.Sp
+.Vb 3
+\& foo = 1
+\& foo = foo * 4
+\& foo = foo + 8

+Do sophisticated linking of \f(CW\*(C`_symbol\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`_\|_imp_\|_symbol\*(C'\fR for
+\&\s-1DATA\s0 imports from DLLs, and create the necessary thunking symbols when
+building the import libraries with those \s-1DATA\s0 exports. Note: Use of the
+\&'auto\-import' extension will cause the text section of the image file
+to be made writable. This does not conform to the PE-COFF format
+specification published by Microsoft.
+.Sp
+Using 'auto\-import' generally will 'just work' \*(-- but sometimes you may
+see this message:
+.Sp
+"variable '<var>' can't be auto-imported. Please read the
+documentation for ld's \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-auto\-import\*(C'\fR for details."
+.Sp
+This message occurs when some (sub)expression accesses an address
+ultimately given by the sum of two constants (Win32 import tables only
+allow one). Instances where this may occur include accesses to member
+fields of struct variables imported from a \s-1DLL\s0, as well as using a
+constant index into an array variable imported from a \s-1DLL\s0. Any
+multiword variable (arrays, structs, long long, etc) may trigger
+this error condition. However, regardless of the exact data type
+of the offending exported variable, ld will always detect it, issue
+the warning, and exit.
+.Sp
+There are several ways to address this difficulty, regardless of the
+data type of the exported variable:
+.Sp
+One way is to use \-\-enable\-runtime\-pseudo\-reloc switch. This leaves the task
+of adjusting references in your client code for runtime environment, so
+this method works only when runtime environment supports this feature.
+.Sp
+A second solution is to force one of the 'constants' to be a variable \*(--
+that is, unknown and un-optimizable at compile time. For arrays,
+there are two possibilities: a) make the indexee (the array's address)
+a variable, or b) make the 'constant' index a variable. Thus:
+.Sp
+.Vb 3
+\& extern type extern_array[];
+\& extern_array[1] \-\->
+\& { volatile type *t=extern_array; t[1] }
+.Ve
+.Sp
+or
+.Sp
+.Vb 3
+\& extern type extern_array[];
+\& extern_array[1] \-\->
+\& { volatile int t=1; extern_array[t] }
+.Ve
+.Sp
+For structs (and most other multiword data types) the only option
+is to make the struct itself (or the long long, or the ...) variable:
+.Sp
+.Vb 3
+\& extern struct s extern_struct;
+\& extern_struct.field \-\->
+\& { volatile struct s *t=&extern_struct; t\->field }
+.Ve
+.Sp
+or
+.Sp
+.Vb 3
+\& extern long long extern_ll;
+\& extern_ll \-\->
+\& { volatile long long * local_ll=&extern_ll; *local_ll }
+.Ve
+.Sp
+A third method of dealing with this difficulty is to abandon
+\&'auto\-import' for the offending symbol and mark it with
+\&\f(CW\*(C`_\|_declspec(dllimport)\*(C'\fR. However, in practise that
+requires using compile-time #defines to indicate whether you are
+building a \s-1DLL\s0, building client code that will link to the \s-1DLL\s0, or
+merely building/linking to a static library. In making the choice
+between the various methods of resolving the 'direct address with
+constant offset' problem, you should consider typical real-world usage:
+.Sp
+Original:
+.Sp
+.Vb 7
+\& \-\-foo.h
+\& extern int arr[];
+\& \-\-foo.c
+\& #include "foo.h"
+\& void main(int argc, char **argv){
+\& printf("%d\en",arr[1]);
+\& }
+.Ve
+.Sp
+Solution 1:
+.Sp
+.Vb 9
+\& \-\-foo.h
+\& extern int arr[];
+\& \-\-foo.c
+\& #include "foo.h"
+\& void main(int argc, char **argv){
+\& /* This workaround is for win32 and cygwin; do not "optimize" */
+\& volatile int *parr = arr;
+\& printf("%d\en",parr[1]);
+\& }
+.Ve
+.Sp
+Solution 2:
+.Sp
+.Vb 10
+\& \-\-foo.h
+\& /* Note: auto\-export is assumed (no _\|_declspec(dllexport)) */
+\& #if (defined(_WIN32) || defined(_\|_CYGWIN_\|_)) && \e
+\& !(defined(FOO_BUILD_DLL) || defined(FOO_STATIC))
+\& #define FOO_IMPORT _\|_declspec(dllimport)
+\& #else
+\& #define FOO_IMPORT
+\& #endif
+\& extern FOO_IMPORT int arr[];
+\& \-\-foo.c
+\& #include "foo.h"
+\& void main(int argc, char **argv){
+\& printf("%d\en",arr[1]);
+\& }
+.Ve
+.Sp
+A fourth way to avoid this problem is to re-code your
+library to use a functional interface rather than a data interface
+for the offending variables (e.g. \fIset_foo()\fR and \fIget_foo()\fR accessor
+functions).

+You can change the behaviour of \fBld\fR with the environment variables
+\&\f(CW\*(C`GNUTARGET\*(C'\fR,
+\&\f(CW\*(C`LDEMULATION\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`COLLECT_NO_DEMANGLE\*(C'\fR.
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`GNUTARGET\*(C'\fR determines the input-file object format if you don't
+use \fB\-b\fR (or its synonym \fB\-\-format\fR). Its value should be one
+of the \s-1BFD\s0 names for an input format. If there is no
+\&\f(CW\*(C`GNUTARGET\*(C'\fR in the environment, \fBld\fR uses the natural format
+of the target. If \f(CW\*(C`GNUTARGET\*(C'\fR is set to \f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR then \s-1BFD\s0
+attempts to discover the input format by examining binary input files;
+this method often succeeds, but there are potential ambiguities, since
+there is no method of ensuring that the magic number used to specify
+object-file formats is unique. However, the configuration procedure for
+\&\s-1BFD\s0 on each system places the conventional format for that system first
+in the search-list, so ambiguities are resolved in favor of convention.
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`LDEMULATION\*(C'\fR determines the default emulation if you don't use the
+\&\fB\-m\fR option. The emulation can affect various aspects of linker
+behaviour, particularly the default linker script. You can list the

+the \fB\-m\fR option is not used, and the \f(CW\*(C`LDEMULATION\*(C'\fR environment
+variable is not defined, the default emulation depends upon how the
+linker was configured.
+.PP
+Normally, the linker will default to demangling symbols. However, if
+\&\f(CW\*(C`COLLECT_NO_DEMANGLE\*(C'\fR is set in the environment, then it will
+default to not demangling symbols. This environment variable is used in
+a similar fashion by the \f(CW\*(C`gcc\*(C'\fR linker wrapper program. The default

+\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBnm\fR lists the symbols from object files \fIobjfile\fR....
+If no object files are listed as arguments, \fBnm\fR assumes the file
+\&\fIa.out\fR.
+.PP
+For each symbol, \fBnm\fR shows:
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+The symbol value, in the radix selected by options (see below), or
+hexadecimal by default.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+The symbol type. At least the following types are used; others are, as
+well, depending on the object file format. If lowercase, the symbol is
+local; if uppercase, the symbol is global (external).
+.RS 4
+.ie n .IP """A""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWA\fR" 4
+.IX Item "A"
+The symbol's value is absolute, and will not be changed by further
+linking.
+.ie n .IP """B""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWB\fR" 4

+The symbol is in the uninitialized data section (known as \s-1BSS\s0).
+.ie n .IP """C""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWC\fR" 4
+.IX Item "C"
+The symbol is common. Common symbols are uninitialized data. When
+linking, multiple common symbols may appear with the same name. If the
+symbol is defined anywhere, the common symbols are treated as undefined
+references.
+.ie n .IP """D""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWD\fR" 4
+.IX Item "D"
+The symbol is in the initialized data section.
+.ie n .IP """G""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWG\fR" 4
+.IX Item "G"
+The symbol is in an initialized data section for small objects. Some
+object file formats permit more efficient access to small data objects,
+such as a global int variable as opposed to a large global array.
+.ie n .IP """I""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWI\fR" 4
+.IX Item "I"
+The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol. This is a \s-1GNU\s0
+extension to the a.out object file format which is rarely used.
+.ie n .IP """N""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWN\fR" 4
+.IX Item "N"
+The symbol is a debugging symbol.
+.ie n .IP """R""" 4

+The symbol is a weak object. When a weak defined symbol is linked with
+a normal defined symbol, the normal defined symbol is used with no error.
+When a weak undefined symbol is linked and the symbol is not defined,
+the value of the weak symbol becomes zero with no error.
+.ie n .IP """W""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWW\fR" 4
+.IX Item "W"
+The symbol is a weak symbol that has not been specifically tagged as a
+weak object symbol. When a weak defined symbol is linked with a normal
+defined symbol, the normal defined symbol is used with no error.
+When a weak undefined symbol is linked and the symbol is not defined,
+the value of the symbol is determined in a system-specific manner without
+error. On some systems, uppercase indicates that a default value has been
+specified.
+.ie n .IP """\-""" 4

+.IX Item "-"
+The symbol is a stabs symbol in an a.out object file. In this case, the

+.IX Item "--print-file-name"
+.PD
+Precede each symbol by the name of the input file (or archive member)
+in which it was found, rather than identifying the input file once only,
+before all of its symbols.
+.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-a"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-debug\-syms\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--debug-syms"
+.PD
+Display all symbols, even debugger-only symbols; normally these are not
+listed.
+.IP "\fB\-B\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-B"
+The same as \fB\-\-format=bsd\fR (for compatibility with the \s-1MIPS\s0 \fBnm\fR).

+.IX Item "-C"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-demangle[=\fR\fIstyle\fR\fB]\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--demangle[=style]"
+.PD
+Decode (\fIdemangle\fR) low-level symbol names into user-level names.
+Besides removing any initial underscore prepended by the system, this
+makes \*(C+ function names readable. Different compilers have different
+mangling styles. The optional demangling style argument can be used to
+choose an appropriate demangling style for your compiler.
+.IP "\fB\-\-no\-demangle\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--no-demangle"
+Do not demangle low-level symbol names. This is the default.
+.IP "\fB\-D\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-D"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-dynamic\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--dynamic"
+.PD
+Display the dynamic symbols rather than the normal symbols. This is
+only meaningful for dynamic objects, such as certain types of shared
+libraries.
+.IP "\fB\-f\fR \fIformat\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-f format"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-format=\fR\fIformat\fR" 4

+Use the output format \fIformat\fR, which can be \f(CW\*(C`bsd\*(C'\fR,
+\&\f(CW\*(C`sysv\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`posix\*(C'\fR. The default is \f(CW\*(C`bsd\*(C'\fR.
+Only the first character of \fIformat\fR is significant; it can be
+either upper or lower case.
+.IP "\fB\-g\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-g"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-extern\-only\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--extern-only"

+Display only external symbols.
+.IP "\fB\-l\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-l"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-line\-numbers\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--line-numbers"
+.PD
+For each symbol, use debugging information to try to find a filename and
+line number. For a defined symbol, look for the line number of the
+address of the symbol. For an undefined symbol, look for the line
+number of a relocation entry which refers to the symbol. If line number
+information can be found, print it after the other symbol information.
+.IP "\fB\-n\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-n"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-v"
+.IP "\fB\-\-numeric\-sort\fR" 4

+Sort symbols numerically by their addresses, rather than alphabetically
+by their names.
+.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-p"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-no\-sort\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--no-sort"

+Do not bother to sort the symbols in any order; print them in the order
+encountered.
+.IP "\fB\-P\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-P"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-portability\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--portability"

+Use the \s-1POSIX\s0.2 standard output format instead of the default format.
+Equivalent to \fB\-f posix\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-S\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-S"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-print\-size\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--print-size"
+.PD
+Print size, not the value, of defined symbols for the \f(CW\*(C`bsd\*(C'\fR output format.
+.IP "\fB\-s\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-s"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-print\-armap\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--print-armap"
+.PD
+When listing symbols from archive members, include the index: a mapping
+(stored in the archive by \fBar\fR or \fBranlib\fR) of which modules
+contain definitions for which names.
+.IP "\fB\-r\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-r"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-reverse\-sort\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--reverse-sort"
+.PD
+Reverse the order of the sort (whether numeric or alphabetic); let the
+last come first.
+.IP "\fB\-\-size\-sort\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--size-sort"
+Sort symbols by size. The size is computed as the difference between
+the value of the symbol and the value of the symbol with the next higher
+value. If the \f(CW\*(C`bsd\*(C'\fR output format is used the size of the symbol
+is printed, rather than the value, and \fB\-S\fR must be used in order
+both size and value to be printed.
+.IP "\fB\-\-special\-syms\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--special-syms"
+Display symbols which have a target-specific special meaning. These
+symbols are usually used by the target for some special processing and
+are not normally helpful when included included in the normal symbol
+lists. For example for \s-1ARM\s0 targets this option would skip the mapping
+symbols used to mark transitions between \s-1ARM\s0 code, \s-1THUMB\s0 code and
+data.
+.IP "\fB\-t\fR \fIradix\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-t radix"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-radix=\fR\fIradix\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--radix=radix"
+.PD
+Use \fIradix\fR as the radix for printing the symbol values. It must be
+\&\fBd\fR for decimal, \fBo\fR for octal, or \fBx\fR for hexadecimal.
+.IP "\fB\-\-target=\fR\fIbfdname\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--target=bfdname"
+Specify an object code format other than your system's default format.
+.IP "\fB\-u\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-u"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-undefined\-only\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--undefined-only"
+.PD
+Display only undefined symbols (those external to each object file).
+.IP "\fB\-\-defined\-only\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--defined-only"
+Display only defined symbols for each object file.
+.IP "\fB\-V\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-V"
+.PD 0
+.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--version"
+.PD
+Show the version number of \fBnm\fR and exit.
+.IP "\fB\-X\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-X"
+This option is ignored for compatibility with the \s-1AIX\s0 version of
+\&\fBnm\fR. It takes one parameter which must be the string
+\&\fB32_64\fR. The default mode of \s-1AIX\s0 \fBnm\fR corresponds
+to \fB\-X 32\fR, which is not supported by \s-1GNU\s0 \fBnm\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--help"
+Show a summary of the options to \fBnm\fR and exit.
+.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
+.IX Item "@file"
+Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are
+inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR
+does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
+literally, and not removed.
+.Sp
+Options in \fIfile\fR 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 \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
+@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \s-1GNU\s0 \fBobjcopy\fR utility copies the contents of an object
+file to another. \fBobjcopy\fR uses the \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1BFD\s0 Library to
+read and write the object files. It can write the destination object
+file in a format different from that of the source object file. The
+exact behavior of \fBobjcopy\fR is controlled by command-line options.
+Note that \fBobjcopy\fR should be able to copy a fully linked file
+between any two formats. However, copying a relocatable object file
+between any two formats may not work as expected.
+.PP
+\&\fBobjcopy\fR creates temporary files to do its translations and
+deletes them afterward. \fBobjcopy\fR uses \s-1BFD\s0 to do all its
+translation work; it has access to all the formats described in \s-1BFD\s0
+and thus is able to recognize most formats without being told
+explicitly.
+.PP
+\&\fBobjcopy\fR can be used to generate S\-records by using an output
+target of \fBsrec\fR (e.g., use \fB\-O srec\fR).
+.PP
+\&\fBobjcopy\fR can be used to generate a raw binary file by using an
+output target of \fBbinary\fR (e.g., use \fB\-O binary\fR). When
+\&\fBobjcopy\fR generates a raw binary file, it will essentially produce
+a memory dump of the contents of the input object file. All symbols and
+relocation information will be discarded. The memory dump will start at
+the load address of the lowest section copied into the output file.
+.PP
+When generating an S\-record or a raw binary file, it may be helpful to
+use \fB\-S\fR to remove sections containing debugging information. In
+some cases \fB\-R\fR will be useful to remove sections which contain
+information that is not needed by the binary file.
+.PP
+Note\-\-\-\fBobjcopy\fR is not able to change the endianness of its input
+files. If the input format has an endianness (some formats do not),
+\&\fBobjcopy\fR can only copy the inputs into file formats that have the
+same endianness or which have no endianness (e.g., \fBsrec\fR).
+(However, see the \fB\-\-reverse\-bytes\fR option.)

+used in \s-1ARM\s0's instruction set documentation, but with register 13 called
+\&'sp', register 14 called 'lr' and register 15 called 'pc'. Specifying
+\&\fB\-M reg-names-apcs\fR will select the name set used by the \s-1ARM\s0
+Procedure Call Standard, whilst specifying \fB\-M reg-names-raw\fR will
+just use \fBr\fR followed by the register number.
+.Sp
+There are also two variants on the \s-1APCS\s0 register naming scheme enabled
+by \fB\-M reg-names-atpcs\fR and \fB\-M reg-names-special-atpcs\fR which
+use the ARM/Thumb Procedure Call Standard naming conventions. (Either
+with the normal register names or the special register names).
+.Sp
+This option can also be used for \s-1ARM\s0 architectures to force the
+disassembler to interpret all instructions as Thumb instructions by
+using the switch \fB\-\-disassembler\-options=force\-thumb\fR. This can be
+useful when attempting to disassemble thumb code produced by other
+compilers.
+.Sp
+For the x86, some of the options duplicate functions of the \fB\-m\fR
+switch, but allow finer grained control. Multiple selections from the
+following may be specified as a comma separated string.
+\&\fBx86\-64\fR, \fBi386\fR and \fBi8086\fR select disassembly for
+the given architecture. \fBintel\fR and \fBatt\fR select between
+intel syntax mode and \s-1AT&T\s0 syntax mode. \fBaddr64\fR, \fBaddr32\fR,
+\&\fBaddr16\fR, \fBdata32\fR and \fBdata16\fR specify the default
+address size and operand size. These four options will be overridden if
+\&\fBx86\-64\fR, \fBi386\fR or \fBi8086\fR appear later in the
+option string. Lastly, \fBsuffix\fR, when in \s-1AT&T\s0 mode,
+instructs the disassembler to print a mnemonic suffix even when the
+suffix could be inferred by the operands.
+.Sp
+For \s-1PPC\s0, \fBbooke\fR, \fBbooke32\fR and \fBbooke64\fR select
+disassembly of BookE instructions. \fB32\fR and \fB64\fR select
+PowerPC and PowerPC64 disassembly, respectively. \fBe300\fR selects
+disassembly for the e300 family. \fB440\fR selects disassembly for
+the PowerPC 440.
+.Sp
+For \s-1MIPS\s0, this option controls the printing of instruction mnemonic
+names and register names in disassembled instructions. Multiple
+selections from the following may be specified as a comma separated
+string, and invalid options are ignored:
+.RS 4

+.IP "\fB\-\-only\-keep\-debug\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--only-keep-debug"
+Strip a file, removing contents of any sections that would not be
+stripped by \fB\-\-strip\-debug\fR and leaving the debugging sections
+intact. In \s-1ELF\s0 files, this preserves all note sections in the output.
+.Sp
+The intention is that this option will be used in conjunction with
+\&\fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR to create a two part executable. One a
+stripped binary which will occupy less space in \s-1RAM\s0 and in a
+distribution and the second a debugging information file which is only
+needed if debugging abilities are required. The suggested procedure
+to create these files is as follows:

+Note \- the choice of \f(CW\*(C`.dbg\*(C'\fR as an extension for the debug info
+file is arbitrary. Also the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-only\-keep\-debug\*(C'\fR step is
+optional. You could instead do this:

+ie the file pointed to by the \fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR can be the
+full executable. It does not have to be a file created by the
+\&\fB\-\-only\-keep\-debug\fR switch.
+.Sp
+Note \- this switch is only intended for use on fully linked files. It
+does not make sense to use it on object files where the debugging
+information may be incomplete. Besides the gnu_debuglink feature
+currently only supports the presence of one filename containing
+debugging information, not multiple filenames on a one-per-object-file
+basis.
