+.B \-j \fIsectionname\fR, \fB\-\-only\-section=\fIsectionname
+Copy only the named section from the input file to the output file,

+once. Note that using this option inappropriately may make the output
+file unusable.
+.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

Make symbol \fIsymbolname\fP weak. This option may be given more than once.

Do not copy non-global symbols from the source file.

+.B \fB\-\-change\-section\-address\ \fIsection{=,+,-}val\fR, \fB\-\-adjust\-section\-vma\ \fIsection{=,+,-}val
Set or changes the VMA and LMA addresses 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
\fIsection\fP does not exist in the input file, a warning will be
issued, unless \fB\-\-no\-change\-warnings\fP is used.
.TP

Set or change the LMA 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

Set or change the VMA 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
Do not issue a warning if \fB\-\-change\-section\-XXX\fP is used, even
if the named section does not exist.
.TP

+.B \fB\-\-set\-section\-flags\ \fIsection=flags
Set the flags for the named section. The \fIflags\fP argument is a
comma separated string of flag names. The recognized names are
-\fIalloc\fP, \fIload\fP, \fIreadonly\fP, \fIcode\fP, \fIdata\fP, and

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

+Change the name of symbol \fIold\fR to \fInew\fR. This can be useful

+source, and there are name collisions.
+.TP
.B \-\-weaken
Change all global symbols in the file to be weak.
