It then processes these inputs and if the \fB\-e\fR option has +been specified it creates a exports file. If the \fB\-l\fR option +has been specified it creates a library file and if the \fB\-z\fR option +has been specified it creates a def file. Any or all of the \-e, \-l +and \-z options can be present in one invocation of dlltool. +.PP +When creating a DLL, along with the source for the DLL, it is necessary +to have three other files. \f(CWdlltool\fR can help with the creation of +these files. +.PP +The first file is a \fB.def\fR file which specifies which functions are +exported from the DLL, which functions the DLL imports, and so on. This +is a text file and can be created by hand, or \f(CWdlltool\fR can be used +to create it using the \fB\-z\fR option. In this case \f(CWdlltool\fR +will scan the object files specified on its command line looking for +those functions which have been specially marked as being exported and +put entries for them in the .def file it creates. +.PP +In order to mark a function as being exported from a DLL, it needs to +have an \fB\-export:<name_of_function>\fR entry in the \fB.drectve\fR +section of the object file. This can be done in C by using the +\fIasm()\fR operator: +.PP +.Vb 5 +\& +\& asm (".section .drectve"); +\& asm (".ascii \e"-export:my_func\e""); +\& +\& int my_func (void) { ... } +.Ve +The second file needed for DLL creation is an exports file. This file +is linked with the object files that make up the body of the DLL and it +handles the interface between the DLL and the outside world. This is a +binary file and it can be created by giving the \fB\-e\fR option to +\f(CWdlltool\fR when it is creating or reading in a .def file. +.PP +The third file needed for DLL creation is the library file that programs +will link with in order to access the functions in the DLL. This file +can be created by giving the \fB\-l\fR option to dlltool when it +is creating or reading in a .def file. +.PP +\f(CWdlltool\fR builds the library file by hand, but it builds the +exports file by creating temporary files containing assembler statements +and then assembling these. The \fB\-S\fR command line option can be +used to specify the path to the assembler that dlltool will use, +and the \fB\-f\fR option can be used to pass specific flags to that +assembler. The \fB\-n\fR can be used to prevent dlltool from deleting +these temporary assembler files when it is done, and if \fB\-n\fR is +specified twice then this will prevent dlltool from deleting the +temporary object files it used to build the library. +.PP +Here is an example of creating a DLL from a source file \fBdll.c\fR and +also creating a program (from an object file called \fBprogram.o\fR) +that uses that DLL: +.PP +.Vb 5 +\& +\& gcc -c dll.c +\& dlltool -e exports.o -l dll.lib dll.o +\& gcc dll.o exports.o -o dll.dll +\& gcc program.o dll.lib -o program +.Ve +.SH "OPTIONS" +The command line options have the following meanings: +.Ip "\f(CW-d \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--input-def \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the name of a .def file to be read in and processed. +.Ip "\f(CW-b \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--base-file \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the name of a base file to be read in and processed. The +contents of this file will be added to the relocation section in the +exports file generated by dlltool. +.Ip "\f(CW-e \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--output-exp \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the name of the export file to be created by dlltool. +.Ip "\f(CW-z \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--output-def \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the name of the .def file to be created by dlltool. +.Ip "\f(CW-l \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--output-lib \fIfilename\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the name of the library file to be created by dlltool. +.Ip "\f(CW--export-all-symbols\fR" 4 +Treat all global and weak defined symbols found in the input object +files as symbols to be exported. There is a small list of symbols which +are not exported by default; see the \f(CW--no-default-excludes\fR +option. You may add to the list of symbols to not export by using the +\f(CW--exclude-symbols\fR option. +.Ip "\f(CW--no-export-all-symbols\fR" 4 +Only export symbols explicitly listed in an input .def file or in +\&\fB.drectve\fR sections in the input object files. This is the default +behaviour. The \fB.drectve\fR sections are created by \fBdllexport\fR +attributes in the source code. +.Ip "\f(CW--exclude-symbols \fIlist\fR\fR" 4 +Do not export the symbols in \fIlist\fR. This is a list of symbol names +separated by comma or colon characters. The symbol names should not +contain a leading underscore. This is only meaningful when +\f(CW--export-all-symbols\fR is used. +.Ip "\f(CW--no-default-excludes\fR" 4 +When \f(CW--export-all-symbols\fR is used, it will by default avoid +exporting certain special symbols. The current list of symbols to avoid +exporting is \fBDllMain@12\fR, \fBDllEntryPoint@0\fR, +\fBimpure_ptr\fR. You may use the \f(CW--no-default-excludes\fR option +to go ahead and export these special symbols. This is only meaningful +when \f(CW--export-all-symbols\fR is used. +.Ip "\f(CW-S \fIpath\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--as \fIpath\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the path, including the filename, of the assembler to be used +to create the exports file. +.Ip "\f(CW-f \fIswitches\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--as-flags \fIswitches\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies any specific command line switches to be passed to the +assembler when building the exports file. This option will work even if +the \fB\-S\fR option is not used. This option only takes one argument, +and if it occurs more than once on the command line, then later +occurrences will override earlier occurrences. So if it is necessary to +pass multiple switches to the assembler they should be enclosed in +double quotes. +.Ip "\f(CW-D \fIname\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--dll-name \fIname\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the name to be stored in the .def file as the name of the \s-1DLL\s0 +when the \fB\-e\fR option is used. If this option is not present, then +the filename given to the \fB\-e\fR option will be used as the name of +the \s-1DLL\s0. +.Ip "\f(CW-m \fImachine\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW-machine \fImachine\fR\fR" 4 +Specifies the type of machine for which the library file should be +built. \f(CWdlltool\fR has a built in default type, depending upon how +it was created, but this option can be used to override that. This is +normally only useful when creating DLLs for an \s-1ARM\s0 processor, when the +contents of the \s-1DLL\s0 are actually encode using \s-1THUMB\s0 instructions. +.Ip "\f(CW-a\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--add-indirect\fR" 4 +Specifies that when \f(CWdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it +should add a section which allows the exported functions to be +referenced without using the import library. Whatever the hell that +means! +.Ip "\f(CW-U\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--add-underscore\fR" 4 +Specifies that when \f(CWdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it +should prepend an underscore to the names of the exported functions. +.Ip "\f(CW-k\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--kill-at\fR" 4 +Specifies that when \f(CWdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it +should not append the string \fB@ <number>\fR. These numbers are +called ordinal numbers and they represent another way of accessing the +function in a \s-1DLL\s0, other than by name. +.Ip "\f(CW-A\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--add-stdcall-alias\fR" 4 +Specifies that when \f(CWdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it +should add aliases for stdcall symbols without \fB@ <number>\fR +in addition to the symbols with \fB@ <number>\fR. +.Ip "\f(CW-x\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--no-idata4\fR" 4 +Specifies that when \f(CWdlltool\fR is creating the exports and library +files it should omit the .idata4 section. This is for compatibility +with certain operating systems. +.Ip "\f(CW-c\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--no-idata5\fR" 4 +Specifies that when \f(CWdlltool\fR is creating the exports and library +files it should omit the .idata5 section. This is for compatibility +with certain operating systems. +.Ip "\f(CW-i\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--interwork\fR" 4 +Specifies that \f(CWdlltool\fR should mark the objects in the library +file and exports file that it produces as supporting interworking +between \s-1ARM\s0 and \s-1THUMB\s0 code. +.Ip "\f(CW-n\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--nodelete\fR" 4 +Makes \f(CWdlltool\fR preserve the temporary assembler files it used to +create the exports file. If this option is repeated then dlltool will +also preserve the temporary object files it uses to create the library +file. +.Ip "\f(CW-v\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--verbose\fR" 4 +Make dlltool describe what it is doing. +.Ip "\f(CW-h\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--help\fR" 4 +Displays a list of command line options and then exits. +.Ip "\f(CW-V\fR" 4 +.Ip "\f(CW--version\fR" 4 +Displays dlltool's version number and then exits. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +the Info entries for \fIbinutils\fR. +.SH "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright (c) 1991, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +.PP +Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document +under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 +or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; +with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no +Back-Cover Texts.
