DESCRIPTION
elfedit updates the ELF header of ELF files which have the matching ELF
machine and file types. The options control how and which fields in the ELF
header should be updated.
elffile... are the ELF files to be updated. 32-bit and 64-bit ELF files
are supported, as are archives containing ELF files.
OPTIONS
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent.
At least one of the
--output-mach,
--output-type and
--output-osabi options must be given.
- --input-mach=machine
- Set the matching input ELF machine type to machine.
If --input-mach isn't specified, it will match any ELF machine
types.
The supported ELF machine types are, i386, IAMCU, L1OM,
K1OM and x86-64.
- --output-mach=machine
- Change the ELF machine type in the ELF header to
machine. The supported ELF machine types are the same as
--input-mach.
- --input-type=type
- Set the matching input ELF file type to type. If
--input-type isn't specified, it will match any ELF file types.
The supported ELF file types are, rel, exec and
dyn.
- --output-type=type
- Change the ELF file type in the ELF header to type.
The supported ELF types are the same as --input-type.
- --input-osabi=osabi
- Set the matching input ELF file OSABI to osabi. If
--input-osabi isn't specified, it will match any ELF OSABIs.
The supported ELF OSABIs are, none, HPUX, NetBSD,
GNU, Linux (alias for GNU), Solaris,
AIX, Irix, FreeBSD, TRU64, Modesto,
OpenBSD, OpenVMS, NSK, AROS and
FenixOS.
- --output-osabi=osabi
- Change the ELF OSABI in the ELF header to osabi. The
supported ELF OSABI are the same as --input-osabi.
- -v
- --version
- Display the version number of elfedit.
- -h
- --help
- Display the command line options understood by
elfedit.
- @file
- Read command-line options from file. The options
read are inserted in place of the original @ file option. If
file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be
treated literally, and not removed.
Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character
may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either
single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be
included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The
file may itself contain additional @ file options; any such
options will be processed recursively.
