<h4 class="subsection">3.4.3 Commands Dealing with Object File Formats</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A couple of linker script commands deal with object file formats.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>OUTPUT_FORMAT(</code><var>bfdname</var><code>)</code><dt><code>OUTPUT_FORMAT(</code><var>default</var><code>, </code><var>big</var><code>, </code><var>little</var><code>)</code><dd><a name="index-OUTPUT_005fFORMAT_0028_0040var_007bbfdname_007d_0029-394"></a><a name="index-output-file-format-in-linker-script-395"></a>The <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT</code> command names the BFD format to use for the
|
||
|
|
output file (see <a href="BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>). Using <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT(</code><var>bfdname</var><code>)</code> is
|
||
|
|
exactly like using ‘<samp><span class="samp">--oformat </span><var>bfdname</var></samp>’ on the command line
|
||
|
|
(see <a href="Options.html#Options">Command Line Options</a>). If both are used, the command
|
||
|
|
line option takes precedence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT</code> with three arguments to use different
|
||
|
|
formats based on the ‘<samp><span class="samp">-EB</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">-EL</span></samp>’ command line options.
|
||
|
|
This permits the linker script to set the output format based on the
|
||
|
|
desired endianness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If neither ‘<samp><span class="samp">-EB</span></samp>’ nor ‘<samp><span class="samp">-EL</span></samp>’ are used, then the output format
|
||
|
|
will be the first argument, <var>default</var>. If ‘<samp><span class="samp">-EB</span></samp>’ is used, the
|
||
|
|
output format will be the second argument, <var>big</var>. If ‘<samp><span class="samp">-EL</span></samp>’ is
|
||
|
|
used, the output format will be the third argument, <var>little</var>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, the default linker script for the MIPS ELF target uses this
|
||
|
|
command:
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-bigmips, elf32-bigmips, elf32-littlemips)
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>This says that the default format for the output file is
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">elf32-bigmips</span></samp>’, but if the user uses the ‘<samp><span class="samp">-EL</span></samp>’ command line
|
||
|
|
option, the output file will be created in the ‘<samp><span class="samp">elf32-littlemips</span></samp>’
|
||
|
|
format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>TARGET(</code><var>bfdname</var><code>)</code><dd><a name="index-TARGET_0028_0040var_007bbfdname_007d_0029-396"></a><a name="index-input-file-format-in-linker-script-397"></a>The <code>TARGET</code> command names the BFD format to use when reading input
|
||
|
|
files. It affects subsequent <code>INPUT</code> and <code>GROUP</code> commands.
|
||
|
|
This command is like using ‘<samp><span class="samp">-b </span><var>bfdname</var></samp>’ on the command line
|
||
|
|
(see <a href="Options.html#Options">Command Line Options</a>). If the <code>TARGET</code> command
|
||
|
|
is used but <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT</code> is not, then the last <code>TARGET</code>
|
||
|
|
command is also used to set the format for the output file. See <a href="BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>.
