CTFCONVERT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					     CTFCONVERT(1)

NAME

     ctfconvert -- convert debug data to CTF data

SYNOPSIS

     ctfconvert [-gis] -l label -L labelenv [-o outfile] object_file

DESCRIPTION

     The ctfconvert utility converts debug information from a binary file to CTF data and replaces the debug section of that file with a CTF sec-
     tion called SUNW_ctf.  This new section is added to the input file, unless the -o option is present.  You can also opt to keep the original
     debugging section with the -g option.

     The following options are available:

     -l label
	     Sets the label as label.

     -L labelenv
	     Instructs ctfconvert to read the label from the environment variable labelenv.

     -g      Don't delete the original debugging section.

     -i      Ignore object files built from other languages than C.

     -s      Use the .dynsym ELF section instead of the .symtab ELF section.

     -o outfile
	     Write the output to file in outfile.

EXIT STATUS

     The ctfconvert utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
