| |
| <p>An <dfn>architecture</dfn> is a type of <span class="sc">cpu</span> on which an object file is |
| to run. Its name may contain a colon, separating the name of the |
| processor family from the name of the particular <span class="sc">cpu</span>. |
| |
| <p>The command to list valid architecture values is ‘<samp><span class="samp">objdump -i</span></samp>’ (the |
| second column contains the relevant information). |
| |
| <p>Sample values: ‘<samp><span class="samp">m68k:68020</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">mips:3000</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">sparc</span></samp>’. |
| |
| <h4 class="subheading"><samp><span class="command">objdump</span></samp> Architecture</h4> |
| |
| <p>Ways to specify: |
| |
| <ol type=1 start=1> |
| <li>command line option: <samp><span class="option">-m</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">--architecture</span></samp> |
| |
| <li>deduced from the input file |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h4 class="subheading"><samp><span class="command">objcopy</span></samp>, <samp><span class="command">nm</span></samp>, <samp><span class="command">size</span></samp>, <samp><span class="command">strings</span></samp> Architecture</h4> |
