On some systems, both the C and C++ compilers put an underscore in front
of every name. For example, the C name @code{foo} gets the low-level
name @code{_foo}. This option removes the initial underscore.

@chapter nlmconv
@code{nlmconv} converts a relocatable object file into a NetWare
Loadable Module. @code{nlmconv} currently only works with @samp{i386}
object files in @code{coff}, @sc{elf}, or @code{a.out} format.

@end smallexample
@code{nlmconv} converts the relocatable @samp{i386} object file
@var{infile} into the NetWare Loadable Module @var{outfile}, optionally
reading @var{headerfile} for NLM header information. For instructions
on writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see
@cite{The NetWare Tool Maker Specification Manual}, available from
Novell, Inc. @code{nlmconv} uses the @sc{gnu} Binary File Descriptor
library to read @var{infile}; see @ref{BFD,,BFD,ld.info,Using LD, the
GNU linker}, for more information.
@table @code
@item -I @var{format}
@itemx --input-format=@var{format}
Object format of the input file. @code{nlmconv} can usually determine
the format of a given file (so no default is necessary). @var{format}
arguments are normal BFD names; for a list of these, run
@w{@samp{objdump -i}}.
@item -O @var{format}
@itemx --output-format=@var{format}
Object format of the output file. @code{nlmconv} infers the output
format based on the input format, e.g. for a @samp{i386} input file the
output format is @samp{nlm32-i386}. @var{format} arguments are normal
BFD names; for a list of these, run @w{@samp{objdump -i}}.
@item -T @var{headerfile}
@itemx --header-file=@var{headerfile}
Reads @var{headerfile} for NLM header information. For instructions on
writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see
@cite{The NetWare Tool Maker Specification Manual}, available from
Novell, Inc.
@item -h
@itemx --help
Prints a usage summary.
