<!-- man begin DESCRIPTION nlmconv -->
<p><samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> converts the relocatable &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">i386</span></samp>&rsquo; object file
<var>infile</var> into the NetWare Loadable Module <var>outfile</var>, optionally
reading <var>headerfile</var> for NLM header information. For instructions
on writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see the
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">linkers</span></samp>&rsquo; section, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">NLMLINK</span></samp>&rsquo; in particular, of the <cite>NLM
Development and Tools Overview</cite>, which is part of the NLM Software
Developer's Kit (&ldquo;NLM SDK&rdquo;), available from Novell, Inc.
<samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> uses the <span class="sc">gnu</span> Binary File Descriptor library to read
<var>infile</var>;
see <a href="../ld/BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>, for more information.
<p><samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> can perform a link step. In other words, you can list
more than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions
file (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line).
In this case, <samp><span class="command">nlmconv</span></samp> calls the linker for you.
