.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is a special-purpose program to generate the
|
|
linker set definitions needed when building an ELF kernel.
|
|
Its
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
arguments are the names of ELF object files.
|
|
It scans the section names of the object files,
|
|
building a table of those that begin with
|
|
.Dv .set. ,
|
|
which represent linker sets. Finally, for each set
|
|
.Dv foo
|
|
with
|
|
.Dv count
|
|
elements, it writes a line
|
|
.Fn DEFINE_SET foo count ;
|
|
to the standard output.
