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
