<h3 class="section">17.1 Target Selection</h3>
<p>A <em>target</em> is an object file format. A given target may be
supported for multiple architectures (see <a href="Architecture-Selection.html#Architecture-Selection">Architecture Selection</a>).
A target selection may also have variations for different operating
systems or architectures.
</p>
<p>The command to list valid target values is &lsquo;<samp>objdump -i</samp>&rsquo;
(the first column of output contains the relevant information).
</p>
<p>Some sample values are: &lsquo;<samp>a.out-hp300bsd</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>ecoff-littlemips</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>a.out-sunos-big</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>You can also specify a target using a configuration triplet. This is
the same sort of name that is passed to <samp>configure</samp> to specify a
target. When you use a configuration triplet as an argument, it must be
fully canonicalized. You can see the canonical version of a triplet by
running the shell script <samp>config.sub</samp> which is included with the
sources.
</p>
<p>Some sample configuration triplets are: &lsquo;<samp>m68k-hp-bsd</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>mips-dec-ultrix</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>sparc-sun-sunos</samp>&rsquo;.
