NAME

       ctfconvert — convert debug data to CTF data

SYNOPSIS

       ctfconvert [-gis] -l label -L labelenv [-o outfile] object_file

DESCRIPTION

       The  ctfconvert  utility converts debug information from a binary file to CTF data and replaces the debug
       section of that file with a CTF section called SUNW_ctf.  This new section is added to  the  input  file,
       unless  the  -o  option  is present.  You can also opt to keep the original debugging section with the -g
       option.

       The following options are available:

       -l label
               Sets the label as label.

       -L labelenv
               Instructs ctfconvert to read the label from the environment variable labelenv.

       -g      Don't delete the original debugging section.

       -i      Ignore object files built from other languages than C.

       -s      Use the .dynsym ELF section instead of the .symtab ELF section.

       -o outfile
               Write the output to file in outfile.

EXIT STATUS

       The ctfconvert utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
