NAME

       nlmconv - converts object code into an NLM.

SYNOPSIS

       nlmconv [-I bfdname⎪--input-target=bfdname]
               [-O bfdname⎪--output-target=bfdname]
               [-T headerfile⎪--header-file=headerfile]
               [-d⎪--debug] [-l linker⎪--linker=linker]
               [-h⎪--help] [-V⎪--version]
               infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

       nlmconv  converts the relocatable i386 object file infile into the NetWare Loadable Module
       outfile, optionally reading headerfile for NLM header information.   For  instructions  on
       writing  the  NLM  command  file  language  used in header files, see the linkers section,
       NLMLINK in particular, of the NLM Development and Tools Overview, which is part of the NLM
       Software  Developer's Kit (``NLM SDK''), available from Novell, Inc.  nlmconv uses the GNU
       Binary File Descriptor library to read infile;

       nlmconv can perform a link step.  In other words, you can list more than one  object  file
       for  input  if  you  list  them in the definitions file (rather than simply specifying one
       input file on the command line).  In this case, nlmconv calls the linker for you.

OPTIONS

       -I bfdname
       --input-target=bfdname
           Object format of the input file.  nlmconv can usually determine the format of a  given
           file (so no default is necessary).

       -O bfdname
       --output-target=bfdname
           Object format of the output file.  nlmconv infers the output format based on the input
           format, e.g. for a i386 input file the output format is nlm32-i386.

       -T headerfile
       --header-file=headerfile
           Reads headerfile for NLM header information.  For  instructions  on  writing  the  NLM
           command  file  language  used in header files, see see the linkers section, of the NLM
           Development and Tools Overview, which is part of the  NLM  Software  Developer's  Kit,
           available from Novell, Inc.

       -d
       --debug
           Displays (on standard error) the linker command line used by nlmconv.

       -l linker
       --linker=linker
           Use linker for any linking.  linker can be an absolute or a relative pathname.

       -h
       --help
           Prints a usage summary.

       -V
       --version
           Prints the version number for nlmconv.
