BRANDELF(1) BSD General Commands Manual BRANDELF(1)
NAME
brandelf -- mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI
SYNOPSIS
brandelf [-lv] [-f ELF_ABI_number] [-t string] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.
The options are as follows:
-f ELF_ABI_number
Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number. Incompatible with the -t option. These values are assigned by SCO/USL.
-l Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.
-v Turns on verbose output.
-t string
Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type. Currently supported ABIs are ``FreeBSD'', ``Linux'', and ``SVR4''.
file If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of file.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand
requested is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command:
brandelf file
brandelf -t Linux file
