Running the nld Utility in the Guardian Environment
command-Filename
is a Guardian file name or a map DEFINE for an nld command file. nld uses
command-Filename only if no Filename or option arguments are specified
on the command line. Otherwise, nld ignores command-Filename.
output-listing
is a Guardian file name to which nld writes its listing. The file can be type 101 (edit
file) or type 129 (spooler file).
If output-listing is a disk file name and the file does not exist, nld creates a
type 101 edit file.
If you omit the OUT option, nld writes its output to your current default output file.
Filename
is a Guardian file name for a native object file. Depending on the options specified,
the file can be a linkfile or a loadfile.
option
is an nld option (a flag and its parameters, if any). You must include a space
between a flag and its parameters, except after the -l and -L flags. Case is not
significant when specifying nld options, except for the -l and -L flags. For
descriptions of nld flags and their parameters, see Section 3, nld Options.
If you do not specify parameters on the command line and the standard input file is not
an edit file, nld returns syntax information.
You can specify input from the command line or use the option -fl or -obey on
page 3-6, which enables the contents of a file to be entered in the command input at
the point specified. Use the -obey option to supply several options or input file names.
Example 2-1 links together the input object files named objecta and objectb to
create a loadfile named objectc.
Example 2-2 changes the HIGHPIN attribute in the loadfile exeobj to OFF.
Example 2-1. Creating a Loadfile (Guardian)
nld objecta objectb -o objectc
Example 2-2. Changing the HIGHPIN Attribute (Guardian)
nld -change highpin off exeobj
