Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual (G06.28+, H06.05+)

eld(1) OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual
You must also use the -dll flag when you use this flag.
-verbose Directs eld to write error, warning, and informational messages to its output list-
ing, along with output specified by other options.
The default value is -no_verbose.
If you specify more than one of the flags -warn, -verbose, and -noverbose or
-no_verbose in the command line or an obey file, eld displays an inconsistent
usage error message.
-warn Directs eld to write only error and warning messages to its output listing, along
with output specified by other options.
The default value is -no_verbose.
If you specify more than one of the flags -warn, -verbose, and -noverbose or
-no_verbose in the command line or an obey file, eld displays an inconsistent
usage error message.
-y symbol_name5
Tells eld to report which linkfiles define and use the symbol symbol_name5. The
linkfiles are listed in the order encountered.
This information can be useful if a previous eld command produced error or warn-
ing messages about a symbol being either undefined or defined more than once.
Operands
filename17 Specifies one or more files for the eld utility to process.
The files used can be:
• Linkfiles that eld will combine into a new linkfile or loadfile
• DLLs that eld will use to resolve references in a new loadfile that it is
creating, or in a loadfile being processed by the -alf flag
• DLLs that are input to the -make_import_lib flag
This operand is required for all flags except the alf, -change, and -strip flags.
DESCRIPTION
The eld utility links one or more TNS/E native position-independent code (PIC) linkfiles to pro-
duce an executable or nonexecutable native PIC loadfile. You can also modify existing loadfiles
using eld. You can invoke eld directly or, if you are creating a C or C++ program, you can use the
c89 utility to invoke eld automatically for you.
Flag Names
Names of flags obey the following rules:
• If a flag name is one letter and the flag takes a value, the space between the flag name and
the value is optional
• Flag names and keyword values are not case sensitive, except for the separate -l and -L
flags
If no flags or operands are used, the eld command displays usage help in its output listing.
