DESCRIPTION
Thebrandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under
a certain ABI for FreeBSD.
The options are as follows:
-fELF_ABI_number- Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number. Incompatible with the
-toption. 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.
-tstring- Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string
ABI type. Currently supported ABIs are
“
FreeBSD”, “Linux”, and “SVR4”. - file
- If
-tstring is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of file.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file
does 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.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a typical usage of the
brandelf command:
brandelf file brandelf -t Linux file
