ELF2ECOFF(1) 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) 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. NetBSD 10.99 September 30, 1996 NetBSD 10.99
