.Dd October 27, 2014 .Dt BRANDELF 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm brandelf .Nd mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl V | Fl -version .Op Fl f Ar ELF_ABI_number .Op Fl h | Fl -help .Op Fl l .Op Fl t Ar brand .Op Fl v .Ar .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI.

p The options are as follows: l -tag -width indent t Fl f Ar ELF_ABI_number Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number. Incompatible with the .Fl t option. These values are assigned by SCO/USL. t Fl h | Fl -help Print a usage message and exit. t Fl l Writes the list of all known ELF types to standard output. t Fl t Ar brand Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the ABI specified by argument .Ar brand . Supported ABIs include .Dq Li 86Open , .Dq Li AIX , .Dq Li ARM , .Dq Li AROS , .Dq Li FreeBSD , .Dq Li GNU , .Dq Li HP/UX , .Dq Li Hurd , .Dq Li IRIX , .Dq Li Linux (an alias for .Dq Li GNU ) , .Dq Li Modesto , .Dq Li NSK , .Dq Li NetBSD , .Dq Li None , .Dq Li OpenBSD , .Dq Li OpenVMS , .Dq Li Standalone , .Dq Li SVR4 (an alias for .Dq Li None ) , .Dq Li Solaris and .Dq Li Tru64 . t Fl v This option is accepted for compatibility with other versions of .Nm , but is otherwise ignored. t Fl V | Fl -version Print a version identifier and exit. .El

p If the options .Fl f Ar ELF_ABI_number or .Fl t Ar brand were specified, .Nm will brand the files named by command-line arguments .Ar to be of type .Ar ELF_ABI_number or .Ar brand respectively.

p If neither of the .Fl f or .Fl t options were specified, .Nm will display the current branding for the files named by the arguments .Ar . .Sh 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 .Fl f option is not set. .Sh EXAMPLES The following is an example of a typical usage of the .Nm command: d -literal -offset indent brandelf file brandelf -t GNU file .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Rs .%A The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. .%T System V Application Binary Interface .%D April 29, 1998 (DRAFT) .%O http://www.sco.com/developer/devspecs/ .Re .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page first appeared in .Fx 2.2 . .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An John-Mark Gurney Aq Mt jmg@FreeBSD.org .
