.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR converts the relocatable \fBi386\fR object file
\&\fIinfile\fR into the NetWare Loadable Module \fIoutfile\fR, optionally
reading \fIheaderfile\fR for \s-1NLM\s0 header information.  For instructions
on writing the \s-1NLM\s0 command file language used in header files, see the
\&\fBlinkers\fR section, \fB\s-1NLMLINK\s0\fR in particular, of the \fI\s-1NLM\s0
Development and Tools Overview\fR, which is part of the \s-1NLM\s0 Software
Developer's Kit (``\s-1NLM\s0 \s-1SDK\s0''), available from Novell, Inc.
\&\f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR uses the \s-1GNU\s0 Binary File Descriptor library to read
\&\fIinfile\fR;
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR can perform a link step.  In other words, you can list
more than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions
file (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line).
In this case, \f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR calls the linker for you.
.SH "OPTIONS"

.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-I \f(CIbfdname\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "-I bfdname"
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-input\-target=\f(CIbfdname\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "--input-target=bfdname"
Object format of the input file.  \f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR can usually determine
the format of a given file (so no default is necessary).
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-O \f(CIbfdname\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "-O bfdname"
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-output\-target=\f(CIbfdname\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "--output-target=bfdname"
Object format of the output file.  \f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR infers the output
format based on the input format, e.g. for a \fBi386\fR input file the
output format is \fBnlm32\-i386\fR.
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-T \f(CIheaderfile\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "-T headerfile"
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-header\-file=\f(CIheaderfile\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "--header-file=headerfile"
Reads \fIheaderfile\fR for \s-1NLM\s0 header information.  For instructions on
writing the \s-1NLM\s0 command file language used in header files, see see the
\&\fBlinkers\fR section, of the \fI\s-1NLM\s0 Development and Tools
Overview\fR, which is part of the \s-1NLM\s0 Software Developer's Kit, available
from Novell, Inc.
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-d\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d"
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-debug\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "--debug"
Displays (on standard error) the linker command line used by \f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR.
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-l \f(CIlinker\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "-l linker"
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-linker=\f(CIlinker\f(CW\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "--linker=linker"
Use \fIlinker\fR for any linking.  \fIlinker\fR can be an absolute or a
relative pathname.
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-h\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h"
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-help\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Prints a usage summary.
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-V\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "-V"
.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`\-\-version\*(C'\fR" 4
.IX Item "--version"
Prints the version number for \f(CW\*(C`nlmconv\*(C'\fR.
