-- Oformat Output-format
LD May be configured to support more than one kind of object
File. If your LD Is configured this way, you can use
' -- Oformat 'Option to specify the binary format for the output
Object File. Even when LD Is configured to support alternative
Object formats, you don't usually need to specify this, LD
Shocould be configured to produce as a default output format the most
Usual format on each machine. Output-format Is a text string,
Name of a particle format supported by the BFD libraries. (You can
List the available binary formats' Objdump-I '.) The Script
Command
Output_format Can also specify the output format,
This option overrides it. See BFD.
I try to translate it poorly:
-- Oformat Output-format
LDYou can configure more than one target file. If your LDYou can use' -- Oformat'Specifies the binary format of the output target file. Even if LDDifferent target formats are supported. You do not need to specify this option because LDThe default output format is configured as the most common format on each machine. Output-formatIs a string, a format name supported by the BFD library. (You can use the command' Objdump-I'List all available binary formats .) Script command
Output_formatYou can also specify the output format, but this option will overwrite it. See BFD.
