|
|
If a command-line argument
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
names an
|
|
.Xr ar 1
|

archive, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will operate on the ELF objects contained in the archive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default
|
|
.Nm
|
|
operates on the ELF section named
|
|
.Dq .comment .

|
This may be changed using the
|
|
.Fl n

|
option.
|
|
.Pp
