NAME
       brandelf — mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI


SYNOPSIS
       brandelf [-lv] [-f ELF_ABI_number] [-t string] file ...


DESCRIPTION
       The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.

       The options are as follows:

       -f ELF_ABI_number
               Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number.  Incompatible with the -t option.  These values
               are assigned by SCO/USL.

       -l      Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.

       -v      Turns on verbose output.

       -t string
               Brands  the  given  ELF  binaries  to  be  of  the string ABI type.  Currently supported ABIs are
               “FreeBSD”, “Linux”, and “SVR4”.

       file    If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will  simply  display
               the branding of file.


EXIT STATUS
       Exit  status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to
       brand properly, or the brand requested is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.


EXAMPLES
       The following is an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command:

             brandelf file
             brandelf -t Linux file
