Ar elf-file
Ar ecoff-file
Sh DESCRIPTION
Reads a fully-linked ELF executable (such as a  linked kernel)
and produces an equivalent ECOFF format executable file.
Pp
The
Nm
utility is used to convert native
Nx
ELF binaries
to ECOFF format, for compatibility with DECstation diskless-boot
PROM code and diskless-boot servers that require ECOFF format binaries.

Sh HISTORY
Nm
was originally developed for
Nx Ns Tn /pmax
by Ted Lemon
and was first distributed with the pmax port of
Nx 1.1 .
Sh BUGS
Nm
assumes there are no multiply-referenced symbols in the input ELF symbol
section.
It may be necessary to link with
Fl x
to avoid duplicate symbols.
Pp
In some environments, the GNU binutils
Xr objcopy 1
utility may be a better solution than
Nm .
