BRANDELF(1) BSD General Commands Manual BRANDELF(1)NAMEbrandelf — mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI
SYNOPSISbrandelf [-lv] [-f ELF_ABI_number] [-t string] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI
for DragonFly.
The options are as follows:
-f ELF_ABI_number
Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number. Incompatible
with the -t option. 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.
-t string
Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type. Cur‐
rently supported ABIs are “FreeBSD”, “Linux”, and “SVR4”.
(DragonFly currently uses “FreeBSD” as its native branding.)
file If -t string 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
