The
brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run
under a certain ABI.
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.
-
-
- -h
|
--help
- Print a usage message and exit.
-
-
- -l
- Writes the list of all known ELF types to standard
output.
-
-
- -t
brand
- Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the ABI specified by
argument brand. Supported ABIs include
“
86Open”,
“AIX”,
“ARM”,
“AROS”,
“FreeBSD”,
“GNU”,
“HP/UX”,
“Hurd”,
“IRIX”,
“Linux” (an alias for
“GNU”),
“Modesto”,
“NSK”,
“NetBSD”,
“None”,
“OpenBSD”,
“OpenVMS”,
“Standalone”,
“SVR4” (an alias for
“None”),
“Solaris” and

-
-
- -v
- This option is accepted for compatibility with other
versions of brandelf, but is otherwise
ignored.
-
-
- -V
|
--version
- Print a version identifier and exit.
If the options
-f
ELF_ABI_number or
-t brand were
specified,
brandelf will brand the files named by
command-line arguments
file ... to be of type
ELF_ABI_number or
brand respectively.
If neither of the
-f or
-t options were specified,
brandelf will display the current branding for
the files named by the arguments
file ....
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.
The following is an example of a typical usage of the
brandelf command:
brandelf file
brandelf -t GNU file
