| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B nlmconv |
| converts the relocatable object file |
| .B infile |
| into the NetWare Loadable Module |
| .BR outfile , |
| optionally reading |
| .I headerfile |
| for NLM header information. For instructions on writing the NLM |
| command file language used in header files, see |
| .IR "The NetWare Tool Maker Specification Manual" , |
| available from Novell, Inc. |
| .B nlmconv |
| currently works with i386 object files in |
| .BR COFF , |
| .BR ELF , |
| or |
| .B a.out |
| format, and with SPARC object files in |
| .B ELF |
| or |
| .B a.out |
| format. |
| .br |
| .B nlmconv |
| uses the GNU Binary File Descriptor library to read |
| .IR infile . |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .B \-I \fIbfdname\fR, \fB\-\-input\-target=\fIbfdname |
| Consider the source file's object format to be |
| .IR bfdname , |
| rather than attempting to deduce it. |
| .TP |
| .B \-O \fIbfdname\fR, \fB\-\-output\-target=\fIbfdname |
| Write the output file using the object format |
| .IR bfdname . |
| .B nlmconv |
| infers the output format based on the input format, e.g. for an i386 |
| input file the output format is |
| .IR nlm32\-i386 . |
| .TP |
| .B \-T \fIheaderfile\fR, \fB\-\-header\-file=\fIheaderfile |
| Reads |
| .I headerfile |
| for NLM header information. For instructions on writing the NLM |
| command file language used in header files, see |
| .IR "The NetWare Tool Maker Specification Manual" , |
| available from Novell, Inc. |
| .TP |
| .B \-V\fR, \fB\-\-version |
| Show the version number of |
| .B nlmconv |
| and exit. |
| .TP |
| .B \-h\fR, \fB\-\-help |
| Show a summary of the options to |
| .B nlmconv |
| and exit. |
