NAME
brandelf — mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI
SYNOPSIS
brandelf [−lv] [−f ELF_ABI_number] [−t string] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.
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. Currently supported ABIs are ’’FreeBSD’’, ’’Linux’’, and ’’SVR4’’.
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
