\&\fBnlmconv\fR converts the relocatable \fBi386\fR object file
\&\fIinfile\fR into the NetWare Loadable Module \fIoutfile\fR, optionally
reading \fIheaderfile\fR for \s-1NLM\s0 header information.  For instructions
on writing the \s-1NLM\s0 command file language used in header files, see the
\&\fBlinkers\fR section, \fB\s-1NLMLINK\s0\fR in particular, of the \fI\s-1NLM\s0
Development and Tools Overview\fR, which is part of the \s-1NLM\s0 Software
Developer's Kit (\*(L"\s-1NLM SDK\*(R"\s0), available from Novell, Inc.
\&\fBnlmconv\fR uses the \s-1GNU\s0 Binary File Descriptor library to read
\&\fIinfile\fR;
.PP
\&\fBnlmconv\fR 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, \fBnlmconv\fR calls the linker for you.

Object format of the input file.  \fBnlmconv\fR can usually determine
the format of a given file (so no default is necessary).

.IP "\fB\-\-output\-target=\fR\fIbfdname\fR" 4
.IX Item "--output-target=bfdname"
.PD
Object format of the output file.  \fBnlmconv\fR infers the output
format based on the input format, e.g. for a \fBi386\fR input file the
output format is \fBnlm32\-i386\fR.

.IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "@file"
Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR.  The options read are
inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option.  If \fIfile\fR
does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
literally, and not removed.
.Sp
Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
option in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including a
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
with a backslash.  The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
