.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility copies the content of the ELF object named by argument
.Ar infile
to that named by argument
.Ar outfile ,
transforming it according to the command line options specified.
If argument
.Ar outfile
is not specified,
.Nm
will create a temporary file and will subsequently rename it as
.Ar infile .
.Pp
The
.Nm
utility supports the following options:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl I Ar objformat | Fl s Ar objformat | Fl -input-target= Ns Ar objformat
Specify that the input file named by the argument
.Ar infile
is in the object format specified by the argument
.Ar objformat .
.It Fl K Ar symbolname | Fl -keep-symbol= Ns Ar symbolname
Copy the symbol named by argument
.Ar symbolname
to the output.
.It Fl L Ar symbolname | Fl -localize-symbol= Ns Ar symbolname
Make the symbol named by argument
.Ar symbolname
local to the output file.
.It Fl N Ar symbol | Fl -strip-symbol= Ns Ar symbolname
Do not copy the symbol named by argument
.Ar symbolname
to the output.
.It Fl O Ar objformat | Fl -output-target= Ns Ar objformat
Write the output file using the object format specified in argument
.Ar objformat .
.It Fl R Ar sectionname | Fl -remove-section= Ns Ar sectionname
Remove any section with name
.Ar sectionname
from the output file.
.It Fl S | Fl -strip-all
Do not copy symbol and relocation information to the target file.
.It Fl V | Fl -version
Print a version identifier and exit.
.It Fl W Ar symbolname | Fl -weaken-symbol= Ns Ar symbolname
Mark the symbol named by argument
.Ar symbolname
as weak in the output.
.It Fl X | Fl -discard-locals
Do not copy compiler generated local symbols to the output.
.It Fl d | Fl g | Fl -strip-debug
Do not copy debugging information to the target file.
.It Fl h | Fl -help
Display a help message and exit.
.It Fl j Ar sectionname | Fl -only-section= Ns Ar sectionname
Copy only the section named by argument
.Ar sectionname
to the output.
.It Fl p | Fl -preserve-dates
Set the access and modification times of the output file to the
same as those of the input.
.It Fl w | Fl -wildcard
Use shell-style patterns to name symbols.
The following meta-characters are recognized in patterns:
.Bl -tag -width "...." -compact
.It Li !
If this is the first character of the pattern, invert the sense of the
pattern match.
.It Li *
Matches any string of characters in a symbol name.
.It Li ?
Matches zero or one character in a symbol name.
.It Li [
Mark the start of a character class.
.It Li \e
Remove the special meaning of the next character in the pattern.
.It Li ]
Mark the end of a character class.
.El
.It Fl x | Fl -discard-all
Do not copy non-global symbols to the output.
.It Fl -add-gnu-debuglink Ns = Ns Ar filename
Create a .gnu_debuglink section in the output file that references the
debug data in
.Ar filename .
.It Fl -add-section Ar sectionname Ns = Ns Ar filename
Add a new section to the output file with name
.Ar sectionname .
The contents of the section are taken from the file named by
argument
.Ar filename .
The size of the section will be the number of bytes in file
.Ar filename .
.It Xo
.Fl -adjust-section-vma Ar section Ns {+|-|=} Ns Ar val |
.Fl -change-section-address Ar section Ns {+|-|=} Ns Ar val
.Xc
Depending on the operator specified, increase, decrease or set both
the virtual memory address and the load memory address of the section
named by the argument
.Ar section .
The argument
.Ar val
specifies the desired increment, decrement or new value for the
address.
.It Xo
.Fl -adjust-start Ns = Ns Ar increment |
.Fl -change-start Ns = Ns Ar increment
.Xc
Increase the entry point address of the output ELF object by the value
specified in the argument
.Ar increment .
.It Xo
.Fl -adjust-vma Ns = Ns Ar increment |
.Fl -change-addresses Ns = Ns Ar increment
.Xc
Increase the virtual memory address and the load memory address of all
sections by the value specified by the argument
.Ar increment .
.It Fl -adjust-warnings | Fl -change-warnings
Issue a warning if the section specified by the options
.Fl -change-section-address ,
.Fl -change-section-lma
or
.Fl -change-section-vma
does not exist in the input object.
This is the default.
.It Fl -change-section-lma Ar section Ns {+|-|=} Ns Ar val
Change or set the load memory address of the section named by the
argument
.Ar section .
Depending on the operator specified, the value in argument
.Ar val
will be used as an increment, a decrement or as the new value
of the load memory address.
.It Fl -change-section-vma Ar section Ns {+|-|=} Ns Ar val
Change or set the virtual memory address of the section named by the
argument
.Ar section .
Depending on the operator specified, the value in argument
.Ar val
will be used as an increment, a decrement or as the new value
of the virtual memory address.
.It Fl -extract-dwo

.It Fl -gap-fill Ns = Ns Ar val
Fill the gaps between sections with the byte value specified by
the argument
.Ar val .

Make all hidden symbols local to the output file.
This includes symbols with internal visiblity.
.It Fl -no-adjust-warnings | Fl -no-change-warnings
Do not issue a warning if the section specified by the options

.It Fl -rename-section Ar oldname Ns = Ns Ar newname Ns Op Ar ,flags
Rename the section named by argument
.Ar oldname
to
.Ar newname ,
optionally changing the sections flags to that specified by argument
.Ar flags .
Allowed values for the argument
.Ar flags
are as for option
.Fl -set-section-flags
below.
.It Fl -set-section-flags Ar sectionname Ns = Ns Ar flags
Set the flags for the section named by argument
.Ar sectionname
to those specified by argument
.Ar flags .
Argument
.Ar flags
is a comma separated list of the following flag names:
.Bl -tag -width "readonly" -compact
.It alloc
The section occupies space in the output file.
.It code
The section contains machine instructions.
.It contents
This flag is accepted but is ignored.
.It data
The section contains writeable data.
.It debug
The section holds debugging information.
.It load
The section is loadable.
.It noload
The section should not be loaded into memory.
.It readonly
The section is not writable.
.It rom
The section contains ROM'able contents.
.It share
This flag is accepted but is ignored.
.El
.It Fl -set-start Ns = Ns Ar address
Set the start address of the output ELF object to the value specified
by the argument
.Ar address .
.It Fl -srec-forceS3
Only generate S-records of type
.Dq S3 .
This option is only meaningful when the output target is set to
.Dq srec .
.It Fl -srec-len Ns = Ns Ar val
Set the maximum length of an S-record line to
.Ar val .
This option is only meaningful when the output target is set to
.Dq srec .
