BRANDELF(1)		     General Commands Manual		     BRANDELF(1)

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.  Cur-
	     rently supported ABIs are "FreeBSD", "Linux", and "SVR4".

     file    If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string, oth-
	     erwise 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
