CTFCONVERT(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual CTFCONVERT(1)
NAME ctfconvert - convert debug data to CTF data
SYNOPSIS ctfconvert [-gis] -l label -L labelenv [-o outfile] object_file
DESCRIPTION The ctfconvert utility converts debug information from a binary file to CTF (Compact C Type Format) data and replaces the debug section of that file with a CTF section called SUNW_ctf. This new section is added to the input file, unless the -o option is present. You can also opt to keep the original debugging section with the -g option.
The following options are available:
-l label Sets the label as label.
-L labelenv Instructs ctfconvert to read the label from the environment variable labelenv.
-g Don't delete the original debugging section.
-i Ignore object files built from other languages than C.
-s Use the .dynsym ELF section instead of the .symtab ELF section.
-o outfile Write the output to file in outfile.
EXIT STATUS The ctfconvert utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
