! 31: .Sh NAME
! 32: .Nm elf2olf ,
! 33: .Nm olf2elf
! 34: .Nd convert between ELF and OLF object module format
! 35: .Sh SYNOPSIS
! 36: .Nm elf2olf
! 37: .Op Fl v
! 38: .Op Fl o Ar opsys
! 39: .Ar module ...
! 40: .Nm olf2elf
! 41: .Op Fl v
! 42: .Ar file ...
! 43: .Sh DESCRIPTION
! 44: The
! 45: .Nm elf2olf
! 46: utility reads the specified
! 47: .Em ELF
! 48: version 1 module operands and converts them to the default operating system's
! 49: .Em OLF
! 50: object module format.
! 51: The
! 52: .Nm olf2elf
! 53: utility reverses the process.
! 54: The
! 55: .Ar module
! 56: operands are processed in command line order.
! 57: .Sh OPTIONS
! 58: The options are as follows:
! 59: .Bl -tag -width Ds
! 60: .It Fl v
! 61: Operate in verbose mode.
! 62: .It Fl o Ar opsys
! 63: Specifies the operating system
! 64: .Em OLF
! 65: tag
! 66: .Em "opsys"
! 67: as follows:
! 68: .Bl -tag -width Ds
! 69: .It Ta Pa "openbsd" Ta "OpenBSD"
! 70: .It Ta Pa "netbsd" Ta "NetBSD"
! 71: .It Ta Pa "freebsd" Ta "FreeBSD"
! 72: .It Ta Pa "44bsd" Ta "4.4BSD"
! 73: .It Ta Pa "linux" Ta "Linux"
! 74: .It Ta Pa "mach" Ta "Mach"
! 75: .It Ta Pa "svr4" Ta "AT&T System V Release 4"
! 76: .It Ta Pa "esix" Ta "esix UNIX"
! 77: .It Ta Pa "solaris" Ta "SunSoft Solaris"
! 78: .It Ta Pa "irix" Ta "SGI IRIX"
! 79: .It Ta Pa "sco " Ta "SCO UNIX"
! 80: .It Ta Pa "dell" Ta "DELL SVR4"
! 81: .El
! 82: .Pp
! 83: The
! 84: .Nm elf2olf
! 85: and
! 86: .Nm olf2elf
! 87: utilities exit 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
! 88: .Sh BUGS
! 89: The
! 90: .Em ELF
! 91: version 1 object module format lacks any real method to determine the native
! 92: operating system for any given binary thus mandating the existance of these
! 93: tools.
! 94: The converted binaries created by
! 95: .Nm elf2olf
! 96: will no longer execute on their native operating system, only on OLF
! 97: enabled platforms, although
! 98: .Nm olf2elf
! 99: will undo the damage.
