CTFCONVERT(1)		    General Commands Manual		 CTFCONVERT(1)

NAME
       ctfconvert -- convert debug data	to CTF data

SYNOPSIS
       ctfconvert [-gis] -l label -L labelenv [-o outfile] object_file

DESCRIPTION
       The ctfconvert utility converts debug information from a	binary file to
       CTF (Compact C Type Format) data	and replaces the debug section of that
       file  with a CTF	section	called SUNW_ctf.  This new section is added to
       the input file, unless the -o option is present.	 You can also  opt  to
       keep the	original debugging section with	the -g option.

       The following options are available:

       -l label
	       Sets the	label as label.

       -L labelenv
	       Instructs  ctfconvert  to  read	the label from the environment
	       variable	labelenv.

       -g      Don't delete the	original debugging section.

       -i      Ignore object files built from other languages than C.

       -s      Use the .dynsym ELF section instead of the .symtab ELF section.

       -o outfile
	       Write the output	to file	in outfile.

EXIT STATUS
       The ctfconvert utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
