This option may occur multiple times. .TP \fB\-o\fP \fIfilename\fP, \fB\-\-output\fP \fIfilename\fP Output filename (default stdout). .TP \fB\-E\fP, \fB\-\-elf\fP Output in ELF format (default). .TP \fB\-M\fP, \fB\-\-multiboot\fP Output in ELF format with a Multiboot header. .TP \fB\-N\fP, \fB\-\-NBI\fP Output in NBI format. .TP \fB\-l\fP, \fB\-\-load-high\fP Load the Linux kernel and initrd files entirely above 1 MB (default for \-\-multiboot, for compatibility with Grub). .TP \fB\-\-no-load-high\fP Overrule the default for \-\-multiboot (and load the appropriate components of the Linux kernel below 1 MB as required by the particular Linux kernel format version). .TP \fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP Display a brief help message. .TP \fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP Print the program version. .SH AUTHOR Written by H.
