It can +write the destination object file in a format different from that of +the source object file. The exact behavior of +.B objcopy +is controlled by command-line options. + +.B objcopy +creates temporary files to do its translations and deletes them +afterward. +.B objcopy +uses BFD to do all its translation work; it knows about all the +formats BFD knows about, and thus is able to recognize most formats +without being told explicitly. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 0.5i +.I infile\fR,\fI outfile +The source and output files respectively. If you do not specify +.IR outfile , +.B objcopy +creates a temporary file and destructively renames the result with the +name of the input file. +.TP +.B -I \fIformat\fB, --input-format=\fIformat\fB +Consider the source file's object format to be +.IR format , +rather than attempting to deduce it. +.TP +.B -O \fIformat\fB, --output-format=\fIformat\fB +Write the output file using the object format +.IR format . +.TP +.B -F \fIformat\fB, --format=\fIformat\fB +Use +.I format +as the object format for both the input and the output file; i.e. +simply transfer data from source to destination with no translation. +.TP +.B -S, --strip-all +Do not copy relocation and symbol information from the source file. +.TP +.B -g, --strip-debug +Do not copy debugging symbols from the source file. +.TP +.B -x, --discard-all +Do not copy non-global symbols from the source file. +.TP +.B -X, --discard-locals +Do not copy compiler-generated local symbols.
