NAME
aout2hux —
convert a.out/ELF executable
to Human68k .x format
SYNOPSIS
aout2hux |
[-o
output_file] aout1
loadaddr1 aout2
loadaddr2 |
DESCRIPTION
aout2hux reads two
a.out(5) or ELF format
executables with different load addresses and generate Human68k
‘
.x
’ format executable.
If the input files are a.out, they must be static
OMAGIC
/
NMAGIC
m68k executables. If the input files are ELF,
they must be static m68k executables. Two input executables must be created
from the same objects, and have different loading addresses. Each of the load
address is specified by a hexadecimal number. Load address shall be multiple
of 4 for
as(1) and
ld(1) of
NetBSD/m68k.
If the output file is not specified by
-o option, the name
out.x is used.
FILES
- out.x
- default output file.
EXAMPLES
The following command sequence creates a Human68k executable
foo.x from object files
a.o and
b.o:
cc -N -nostdlib -static -Wl,-Text,0 -o aout1 a.o b.o
cc -N -nostdlib -static -Wl,-Text,10203040 -o aout2 a.o b.o
aout2hux -o foo.x aout1 0 aout2 10203040
This example uses 0x0 and 0x10203040 as the load addresses.

HISTORY
The
aout2hux utility first appeared in
NetBSD
1.4.
BUGS
Symbol and debugging information is not converted.
The generated executable is not so effective as that of Human68k native
compiler.
