Tools That Work With Object Files
Here is a list of some of the tools (that is, customer products) that read or write object
files (or archives):

Compilers and the assembler create object files.

The linker (eld) reads and writes object files, and reads archives.

eNOFT reads object files to display their contents.

VPROC can read object files to print out version procedures (that is, a very
special case of what NOFT does).

The NSK operating system, including the runtime loader (rld), reads object files
to bring them into memory.

Debuggers read object files as well as their memory images, and can modify
the memory images.

The archive creation tool (its standard name is ar) reads object files, and reads
and writes archives.

SQLCOMP can read and write object files in order to create or update their
object RTDU’s.
