OBJFORMAT(1)           DragonFly General Commands Manual          OBJFORMAT(1)

NAME
     objformat -- reports default binary format and program deflector

SYNOPSIS
     objformat
     prog

DESCRIPTION
     If run as objformat the default object file format is reported.  The only
     supported object file format is elf.

     If invoked by any other name, the path of the prog that will be executed
     is determined as follows:

     If prog is a binutil (such as as(1) and ld(1)), it is expanded to
     /usr/libexec/<binutils>/elf/prog and executed.  ``<binutils>'' defaults
     to the current binutils version used by DragonFly and can be overridden
     using the BINUTILSVER environment variable.

     If prog is a compiler (such as gcc(1)), it is expanded to
     /usr/libexec/<ccver>/prog and executed.  ``<ccver>'' defaults to the
     current compiler used by DragonFly and can be overridden using the CCVER
     environment variable.

ENVIRONMENT
     BINUTILSVER     The ``<binutils>'' component to be used for binutils
                     paths.

     CCVER           The ``<ccver>'' component to be used for compiler paths.

     LDVER           If this variable is defined as ``ld.bfd'' then the ld
                     command will be an alias for the classic ``GNU ld''
                     linker. If it is undefined or any other value, the ld
                     command will execute the newer ``GNU gold'' linker.

     OBJFORMAT_PATH  If OBJFORMAT_PATH is set, its value is prepended to the
                     path name determined by the objformat rules.  If it is a
                     sequence of colon separated paths, each of
                     OBJFORMAT_PATH's elements is prepended to the path name
                     until execution succeeds.

EXIT STATUS
     The objformat utility returns with exit code 1 if called with an improper
     number of arguments, or if prog could not be executed.
