ELF2OLF(1) BSD Reference Manual ELF2OLF(1)NAME
elf2olf, olf2elf - convert between ELF and OLF object module format
SYNOPSISelf2olf [-v] [-o opsys] module [...]
olf2elf [-v] file [...]
DESCRIPTION
The elf2olf utility reads the specified ELF version 1 module operands and
converts them to the default operating system's OLF object module format.
The olf2elf utility reverses the process. The module operands are pro-
cessed in command line order.
The options are as follows:
-v Operate in verbose mode.
-o opsys
Specifies the operating system OLF tag opsys as follows:
openbsd OpenBSD
netbsd NetBSD
freebsd FreeBSD
44bsd 4.4BSD
linux Linux
svr4 AT&T System V Release 4
esix esix UNIX
solaris SunSoft Solaris
irix SGI IRIX
sco SCO UNIX
dell Dell SVR4
ncr NCR SVR4
The elf2olf and olf2elf utilities exit 0 on success or >0 if an error oc-
curred.
HISTORY
The elf2olf and olf2elf utilities first appeared in OpenBSD 2.1.

BUGS
The ELF version 1 object module format lacks any real method to determine
the native operating system for any given binary thus mandating the ex-
istence of these tools. The converted binaries created by elf2olf will no
longer execute on their native operating system, only on OLF enabled
platforms, although olf2elf will undo the damage.
