+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The GNU \f(CWobjcopy\fR utility copies the contents of an object
+file to another. \f(CWobjcopy\fR uses the GNU BFD Library to
+read and write the object files. It can write the destination object
+file in a format different from that of the source object file. The
+exact behavior of \f(CWobjcopy\fR is controlled by command-line options.
+Note that \f(CWobjcopy\fR should be able to copy a fully linked file
+between any two formats. However, copying a relocatable object file
+between any two formats may not work as expected.
.PP
-.B objcopy
-creates temporary files to do its translations and deletes them
-afterward.
-.B objcopy
-uses BFD to do all its translation work; it knows about all the
-formats BFD knows about, and thus is able to recognize most formats
-without being told explicitly.
+\f(CWobjcopy\fR creates temporary files to do its translations and
+deletes them afterward. \f(CWobjcopy\fR uses BFD to do all its
+translation work; it has access to all the formats described in BFD
+and thus is able to recognize most formats without being told
+explicitly.
.PP
-.B objcopy
-can be used to generate S-records by using an output target of
-.B srec
-(e.g., use
-.B -O srec).
+\f(CWobjcopy\fR can be used to generate S\-records by using an output
+target of \fBsrec\fR (e.g., use \fB\-O srec\fR).
.PP
-.B objcopy
-can be used to generate a raw binary file by using an output target of
-.B binary
-(e.g., use
-.B -O binary).
-When
-.B objcopy
-generates a raw binary file, it will essentially produce a memory dump
-of the contents of the input object file. All symbols and relocation
-information will be discarded. The memory dump will start at the
-virtual address of the lowest section copied into the output file.
+\f(CWobjcopy\fR can be used to generate a raw binary file by using an
+output target of \fBbinary\fR (e.g., use \fB\-O binary\fR). When
+\f(CWobjcopy\fR generates a raw binary file, it will essentially produce
+a memory dump of the contents of the input object file. All symbols and
+relocation information will be discarded. The memory dump will start at
+the load address of the lowest section copied into the output file.
.PP
-When generating an S-record or a raw binary file, it may be helpful to
-use
-.B -S
-to remove sections containing debugging information. In some cases
-.B -R
-will be useful to remove sections which contain information which is
-not needed by the binary file.
+When generating an S\-record or a raw binary file, it may be helpful to
+use \fB\-S\fR to remove sections containing debugging information. In
+some cases \fB\-R\fR will be useful to remove sections which contain
+information that is not needed by the binary file.
.PP
-.I infile
-and
-.I outfile
-are the source and output files respectively. If you do not specify
-.IR outfile ,
-.B objcopy
-creates a temporary file and destructively renames the result with the
-name of the input file.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-I \fIbfdname\fR, \fB\-\-input\-target=\fIbfdname
-Consider the source file's object format to be
-.IR bfdname ,
-rather than attempting to deduce it.
-.TP
-.B \-O \fIbfdname\fR, \fB\-\-output\-target=\fIbfdname
-Write the output file using the object format
-.IR bfdname .
-.TP
-.B \-F \fIbfdname\fR, \fB\-\-target=\fIbfdname
-Use
-.I bfdname
-as the object format for both the input and the output file; i.e.
-simply transfer data from source to destination with no translation.
-.TP
-.B \-R \fIsectionname\fR, \fB\-\-remove-section=\fIsectionname
-Remove the named section from the file. This option may be given more
-than once. Note that using this option inappropriately may make the
-output file unusable.
-.TP
-.B \-S\fR, \fB\-\-strip\-all
+Note \- \f(CWobjcopy\fR is not able to change the endianness of its input
+files. If the input format has an endianness, (some formats do not),
+\f(CWobjcopy\fR can only copy the inputs into file formats that have the
+same endianness or which have no endianness (eg \fBsrec\fR).

+.Ip "\f(CW-B \fIbfdarch\fR\fR" 4
+.Ip "\f(CW--binary-architecture=\fIbfdarch\fR\fR" 4
+Useful when transforming a raw binary input file into an object file.
+In this case the output architecture can be set to \fIbfdarch\fR. This
+option will be ignored if the input file has a known \fIbfdarch\fR. You
+can access this binary data inside a program by referencing the special
+symbols that are created by the conversion process. These symbols are
+called _binary_\fIobjfile\fR_start, _binary_\fIobjfile\fR_end and
+_binary_\fIobjfile\fR_size. e.g. you can transform a picture file into
+an object file and then access it in your code using these symbols.

Do not copy non-global symbols from the source file.
-.TP
-.B \-X\fR, \fB\-\-discard\-locals
-Do not copy compiler-generated local symbols. (These usually start
-with "L" or ".").
-.TP
-.B \-b \fIbyte\fR, \fB\-\-byte=\fIbyte
-Keep only every \fIbyte\fPth byte of the input file (header data is
-not affected). \fIbyte\fP can be in the range from 0 to the
-interleave-1. This option is useful for creating files to program
-ROMs. It is typically used with an srec output target.
-.TP
-.B \-i \fIinterleave\fR, \fB\-\-interleave=\fIinterleave
-Only copy one out of every \fIinterleave\fP bytes. Which one to copy is
-selected by the \fB\-b\fP or \fB\-\-byte\fP option. The default is 4.
-The interleave is ignored if neither \fB\-b\fP nor \fB\-\-byte\fP is given.
-.TP
-.B \-p\fR, \fB\-\-preserve\-dates
+.Ip "\f(CW-X\fR" 4
+.Ip "\f(CW--discard-locals\fR" 4

+(These usually start with \fBL\fR or \fB.\fR.)
+.Ip "\f(CW-b \fIbyte\fR\fR" 4
+.Ip "\f(CW--byte=\fIbyte\fR\fR" 4
+Keep only every \fIbyte\fRth byte of the input file (header data is not
+affected). \fIbyte\fR can be in the range from 0 to \fIinterleave\fR\-1,
+where \fIinterleave\fR is given by the \fB\-i\fR or \fB--interleave\fR
+option, or the default of 4. This option is useful for creating files
+to program \s-1ROM\s0. It is typically used with an \f(CWsrec\fR output
+target.
+.Ip "\f(CW-i \fIinterleave\fR\fR" 4
+.Ip "\f(CW--interleave=\fIinterleave\fR\fR" 4
+Only copy one out of every \fIinterleave\fR bytes. Select which byte to

+.Ip "\f(CW--debugging\fR" 4
Convert debugging information, if possible. This is not the default
because only certain debugging formats are supported, and the
conversion process can be time consuming.
-.TP
-.B \-\-gap\-fill=\fIval
-Fill gaps between sections with \fIval\fP. This is done by increasing
+.Ip "\f(CW--gap-fill \fIval\fR\fR" 4
+Fill gaps between sections with \fIval\fR. This operation applies to
+the \fIload address\fR (\s-1LMA\s0) of the sections. It is done by increasing
the size of the section with the lower address, and filling in the extra
-space created with \fIval\fP.
-.TP
-.B \-\-pad\-to=\fIaddress
-Pad the output file up to the virtual address \fIaddress\fP. This is

certain address, and this option is used to change the sections such
-that they are loaded at a different address, the program may fail.
-.TP
-.B \fB\-\-adjust\-section\-vma=\fIsection{=,+,-}val
-Set or adjust the address of the named \fIsection\fP. If \fI=\fP is
-used, the section address is set to \fIval\fP. Otherwise, \fIval\fP
-is added to or subtracted from the section address. See the comments

+.Ip "\f(CW--adjust-section-vma \fIsection\fR{=,+,-}\fIval\fR\fR" 4
+Set or change both the \s-1VMA\s0 address and the \s-1LMA\s0 address of the named
+\fIsection\fR. If \fB=\fR is used, the section address is set to
+\fIval\fR. Otherwise, \fIval\fR is added to or subtracted from the

+Set or change the \s-1LMA\s0 address of the named \fIsection\fR. The \s-1LMA\s0
+address is the address where the section will be loaded into memory at
+program load time. Normally this is the same as the \s-1VMA\s0 address, which
+is the address of the section at program run time, but on some systems,

+Set or change the \s-1VMA\s0 address of the named \fIsection\fR. The \s-1VMA\s0
+address is the address where the section will be located once the
+program has started executing. Normally this is the same as the \s-1LMA\s0

+.Ip "\f(CW--set-section-flags \fIsection\fR=\fIflags\fR\fR" 4
+Set the flags for the named section. The \fIflags\fR argument is a
comma separated string of flag names. The recognized names are
-\fIalloc\fP, \fIload\fP, \fIreadonly\fP, \fIcode\fP, \fIdata\fP, and
-\fIrom\fP. Not all flags are meaningful for all object file

formats.
-.TP
-.B \fB\-\-add\-section=\fIsectionname=filename

Add a new section named \fIsectionname\fR while copying the file. The
-contents of the new section are taken from the file \fIfilename\fR.
-The size of the section will be the size of the file. This option
-only works on file formats which can support sections with arbitrary

+works on file formats which can support sections with arbitrary names.
+.Ip "\f(CW--change-leading-char\fR" 4
Some object file formats use special characters at the start of
symbols. The most common such character is underscore, which compilers
-often add before every symbol. This option tells
-.B objcopy
-to change the leading character of every symbol when it converts
-between object file formats. If the object file formats use the same
-leading character, this option has no effect. Otherwise, it will add
-a character, or remove a character, or change a character, as
+often add before every symbol. This option tells \f(CWobjcopy\fR to
+change the leading character of every symbol when it converts between
+object file formats. If the object file formats use the same leading
+character, this option has no effect. Otherwise, it will add a
+character, or remove a character, or change a character, as
appropriate.
-.TP
-.B \-\-remove\-leading\-char
+.Ip "\f(CW--remove-leading-char\fR" 4
If the first character of a global symbol is a special symbol leading
character used by the object file format, remove the character. The
most common symbol leading character is underscore. This option will
-remove a leading underscore from all global symbols. This can be
-useful if you want to link together objects of different file formats
-with different conventions for symbol names. This is different from

+remove a leading underscore from all global symbols. This can be useful
+if you want to link together objects of different file formats with

+Meaningful only for srec output. Avoid generation of S1/S2 records,
+creating S3-only record format.
+.Ip "\f(CW--redefine-sym \fIold\fR=\fInew\fR\fR" 4
+Change the name of a symbol \fIold\fR, to \fInew\fR. This can be useful
+when one is trying link two things together for which you have no
+source, and there are name collisions.
+.Ip "\f(CW--weaken\fR" 4
+Change all global symbols in the file to be weak. This can be useful
+when building an object which will be linked against other objects using
