CTFCONVERT(1)		     General Commands Manual		   CTFCONVERT(1)

NAME
     ctfconvert -- convert debug data to Compact C Type Format data

SYNOPSIS
     ctfconvert [-gis] -L labelenv -l label [-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 origi-
     nal debugging section with the -g option.

     The following options are available:

     -g 	  Don't delete the original debugging section.

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

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

     -l label	  Sets the label as label.

     -o outfile   Write the output to file in outfile.

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

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