Usage

Overview
The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.
The options are as follows:
-
-f ELF_ABI_number -
Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number. Incompatible with the
-toption. These values are assigned by SCO/USL. -
-l -
Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.
-
-v -
Turns on verbose output.
-
-t string -
Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type. Currently supported ABIs are “FreeBSD”, “Linux”, and “SVR4”.
- file
-
If
-tstring is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of file.
Exit status
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand requested is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.
Examples
The following is an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command:
brandelf file brandelf -t Linux file
