nlmconv
converts a relocatable object file into a NetWare Loadable Module.
Warning: nlmconv
is not always built as part of the binary utilities, since it is only useful for NLM targets.

nlmconv
converts the relocatable i386
object file infile into the NetWare Loadable Module outfile, optionally reading headerfile for NLM header information. For instructions on writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see the linkers
section, NLMLINK
in particular, of the NLM Development and Tools Overview, which is part of the NLM Software Developer's Kit ("NLM SDK"), available from Novell, Inc. nlmconv
uses the GNU Binary File Descriptor library to read infile; see BFD, for more information.
nlmconv
can perform a link step. In other words, you can list more than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions file (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line). In this case, nlmconv
calls the linker for you.

can usually determine the format of a given file (so no default is necessary). See Target Selection, for more information.-O
bfdname--output-target=
bfdnamenlmconv
infers the output format based on the input format, e.g. for a i386
input file the output format is nlm32-i386
. See Target Selection, for more information.-T
