| <!-- man begin DESCRIPTION nlmconv --> |
| <p><samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> converts the relocatable ‘<samp><span class="samp">i386</span></samp>’ object file |
| <var>infile</var> into the NetWare Loadable Module <var>outfile</var>, optionally |
| reading <var>headerfile</var> for NLM header information. For instructions |
| on writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see the |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">linkers</span></samp>’ section, ‘<samp><span class="samp">NLMLINK</span></samp>’ in particular, of the <cite>NLM |
| Development and Tools Overview</cite>, which is part of the NLM Software |
| Developer's Kit (“NLM SDK”), available from Novell, Inc. |
| <samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> uses the <span class="sc">gnu</span> Binary File Descriptor library to read |
| <var>infile</var>; |
| see <a href="../ld/BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>, for more information. |
| |
| <p><samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> 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, <samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> calls the linker for you. |
