Symbol Utility Introduction

Supported Symbol File Formats

The Symbol Utility will support OMF files in the following formats:

ELF/DWARF. This OMF is a portable format consisting of ELF

(Executable and Linkable Format) and DWARF (Debugging

Information Format) for various processors, including Intel 80960,

PowerPC, and MIPS.

GPA. The General-Purpose ASCII file format, which can be used to

provide symbols for an Object Module Format which is not explicitly

supported. See the "General-Purpose ASCII Symbol File Format" on

page 605 for more details.

Agilent-MRI IEEE-695. The OMF produced by Agilent Technologies

and MRI cross-compilers and cross-assemblers. This format is fully

supported by the Symbol Utility's IEEE-695 reader.

IEEE-695. This OMF is usually produced by language tools for non-

Intel microprocessors. Some language tools which claim to output this

format may deviate from the IEEE-695 standard in ways which make

the OMF file unreadable by the Symbol Utility's reader.

OMF286. This OMF is produced by language tools for Intel 80x86

series and Pentium microprocessors running in real and/or protected

mode. The supported OMF286 file types are Single-task Loadable and

Bootloadable.

OMF386. This OMF is produced by language tools for Intel 80x86

series and Pentium microprocessors running in real and/or protected

mode. The supported OMF386 file types are Loadable and Boot

loadable.
