The options are as follows:

with the -t option. These values are assigned by SCO/USL.
-l Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.
-v Turns on verbose output.
-t string
Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type. Cur‐
rently supported ABIs are “FreeBSD”, “Linux”, and “SVR4”.
file If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string,

not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand requested
is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.
