LEARN ABOUT NETBSD
elf2ecoff
ELF2ECOFF(1) BSD General Commands Manual ELF2ECOFF(1)
NAME
elf2ecoff -- convert a NetBSD ELF-format executable to NetBSD ECOFF format
SYNOPSIS
elf2ecoff elf-file ecoff-file
DESCRIPTION
Reads a fully-linked ELF executable (such as a linked kernel) and produces an equivalent ECOFF format executable file.
The elf2ecoff utility is used to convert native NetBSD ELF binaries to ECOFF format, for compatibility with DECstation diskless-boot PROM
code and diskless-boot servers that require ECOFF format binaries.
SEE ALSO
elf2aout(1), ld(1), kvm(3), a.out(5), elf(5), kvm_mkdb(8)
HISTORY
elf2ecoff was originally developed for NetBSD/pmax by Ted Lemon and was first distributed with the pmax port of NetBSD 1.1.
BUGS
elf2ecoff assumes there are no multiply-referenced symbols in the input ELF symbol section. It may be necessary to link with -x to avoid
duplicate symbols.
In some environments, the GNU binutils objcopy(1) utility may be a better solution than elf2ecoff.
