-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-\&\fBdlltool\fR reads its inputs, which can come from the \fB\-d\fR and
-\&\fB\-b\fR options as well as object files specified on the command
-line. It then processes these inputs and if the \fB\-e\fR option has
-been specified it creates a exports file. If the \fB\-l\fR option
-has been specified it creates a library file and if the \fB\-z\fR option
-has been specified it creates a def file. Any or all of the \fB\-e\fR,
-\&\fB\-l\fR and \fB\-z\fR options can be present in one invocation of
-dlltool.
-.PP
-When creating a \s-1DLL\s0, along with the source for the \s-1DLL\s0, it is necessary
-to have three other files. \fBdlltool\fR can help with the creation of
-these files.
-.PP
-The first file is a \fI.def\fR file which specifies which functions are
-exported from the \s-1DLL\s0, which functions the \s-1DLL\s0 imports, and so on. This
-is a text file and can be created by hand, or \fBdlltool\fR can be used
-to create it using the \fB\-z\fR option. In this case \fBdlltool\fR
-will scan the object files specified on its command line looking for
-those functions which have been specially marked as being exported and
-put entries for them in the \fI.def\fR file it creates.
-.PP
-In order to mark a function as being exported from a \s-1DLL\s0, it needs to
-have an \fB\-export:<name_of_function>\fR entry in the \fB.drectve\fR
-section of the object file. This can be done in C by using the
-\&\fIasm()\fR operator:
-.PP
-.Vb 2
-\& asm (".section .drectve");
-\& asm (".ascii \e"\-export:my_func\e"");
-\&
-\& int my_func (void) { ... }
-.Ve
-.PP
-The second file needed for \s-1DLL\s0 creation is an exports file. This file
-is linked with the object files that make up the body of the \s-1DLL\s0 and it
-handles the interface between the \s-1DLL\s0 and the outside world. This is a
-binary file and it can be created by giving the \fB\-e\fR option to
-\&\fBdlltool\fR when it is creating or reading in a \fI.def\fR file.
-.PP
-The third file needed for \s-1DLL\s0 creation is the library file that programs
-will link with in order to access the functions in the \s-1DLL\s0 (an `import
-library'). This file can be created by giving the \fB\-l\fR option to
-dlltool when it is creating or reading in a \fI.def\fR file.
-.PP
-If the \fB\-y\fR option is specified, dlltool generates a delay-import
-library that can be used instead of the normal import library to allow
-a program to link to the dll only as soon as an imported function is
-called for the first time. The resulting executable will need to be
-linked to the static delayimp library containing _\|\fI_delayLoadHelper2()\fR,
-which in turn will import LoadLibraryA and GetProcAddress from kernel32.
-.PP
-\&\fBdlltool\fR builds the library file by hand, but it builds the
-exports file by creating temporary files containing assembler statements
-and then assembling these. The \fB\-S\fR command line option can be
-used to specify the path to the assembler that dlltool will use,
-and the \fB\-f\fR option can be used to pass specific flags to that
-assembler. The \fB\-n\fR can be used to prevent dlltool from deleting
-these temporary assembler files when it is done, and if \fB\-n\fR is
-specified twice then this will prevent dlltool from deleting the
-temporary object files it used to build the library.
-.PP
-Here is an example of creating a \s-1DLL\s0 from a source file \fBdll.c\fR and
-also creating a program (from an object file called \fBprogram.o\fR)
-that uses that \s-1DLL:\s0
-.PP
-.Vb 4
-\& gcc \-c dll.c
-\& dlltool \-e exports.o \-l dll.lib dll.o
-\& gcc dll.o exports.o \-o dll.dll
-\& gcc program.o dll.lib \-o program
-.Ve
-.PP
-\&\fBdlltool\fR may also be used to query an existing import library
-to determine the name of the \s-1DLL\s0 to which it is associated. See the
-description of the \fB\-I\fR or \fB\-\-identify\fR option.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.IX Header "OPTIONS"
-The command line options have the following meanings:

-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-base\-file\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--base-file filename"
-.PD
-Specifies the name of a base file to be read in and processed. The

-Specifies the name of the library file to be created by dlltool.
-.IP "\fB\-y\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-y filename"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-output\-delaylib\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--output-delaylib filename"
-.PD
-Specifies the name of the delay-import library file to be created by dlltool.
-.IP "\fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--export-all-symbols"
-Treat all global and weak defined symbols found in the input object
-files as symbols to be exported. There is a small list of symbols which
-are not exported by default; see the \fB\-\-no\-default\-excludes\fR
-option. You may add to the list of symbols to not export by using the
-\&\fB\-\-exclude\-symbols\fR option.
-.IP "\fB\-\-no\-export\-all\-symbols\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--no-export-all-symbols"
-Only export symbols explicitly listed in an input \fI.def\fR file or in
-\&\fB.drectve\fR sections in the input object files. This is the default
-behaviour. The \fB.drectve\fR sections are created by \fBdllexport\fR
-attributes in the source code.
-.IP "\fB\-\-exclude\-symbols\fR \fIlist\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--exclude-symbols list"
-Do not export the symbols in \fIlist\fR. This is a list of symbol names
-separated by comma or colon characters. The symbol names should not
-contain a leading underscore. This is only meaningful when
-\&\fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR is used.
-.IP "\fB\-\-no\-default\-excludes\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--no-default-excludes"
-When \fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR is used, it will by default avoid
-exporting certain special symbols. The current list of symbols to avoid
-exporting is \fBDllMain@12\fR, \fBDllEntryPoint@0\fR,
-\&\fBimpure_ptr\fR. You may use the \fB\-\-no\-default\-excludes\fR option
-to go ahead and export these special symbols. This is only meaningful
-when \fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR is used.
-.IP "\fB\-S\fR \fIpath\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-S path"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-as\fR \fIpath\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--as path"
-.PD
-Specifies the path, including the filename, of the assembler to be used
-to create the exports file.
-.IP "\fB\-f\fR \fIoptions\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-f options"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-as\-flags\fR \fIoptions\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--as-flags options"
-.PD
-Specifies any specific command line options to be passed to the
-assembler when building the exports file. This option will work even if
-the \fB\-S\fR option is not used. This option only takes one argument,
-and if it occurs more than once on the command line, then later
-occurrences will override earlier occurrences. So if it is necessary to
-pass multiple options to the assembler they should be enclosed in
-double quotes.
-.IP "\fB\-D\fR \fIname\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-D name"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-dll\-name\fR \fIname\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--dll-name name"
-.PD
-Specifies the name to be stored in the \fI.def\fR file as the name of
-the \s-1DLL\s0 when the \fB\-e\fR option is used. If this option is not
-present, then the filename given to the \fB\-e\fR option will be
-used as the name of the \s-1DLL\s0.
-.IP "\fB\-m\fR \fImachine\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-m machine"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-machine\fR \fImachine\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-machine machine"
-.PD
-Specifies the type of machine for which the library file should be
-built. \fBdlltool\fR has a built in default type, depending upon how
-it was created, but this option can be used to override that. This is
-normally only useful when creating DLLs for an \s-1ARM\s0 processor, when the
-contents of the \s-1DLL\s0 are actually encode using Thumb instructions.
-.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-a"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-add\-indirect\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--add-indirect"
-.PD
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it
-should add a section which allows the exported functions to be
-referenced without using the import library. Whatever the hell that
-means!
-.IP "\fB\-U\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-U"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-add\-underscore\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--add-underscore"
-.PD
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it
-should prepend an underscore to the names of \fIall\fR exported symbols.
-.IP "\fB\-\-no\-leading\-underscore\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--no-leading-underscore"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-leading\-underscore\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--leading-underscore"
-.PD
-Specifies whether standard symbol should be forced to be prefixed, or
-not.
-.IP "\fB\-\-add\-stdcall\-underscore\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--add-stdcall-underscore"
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it
-should prepend an underscore to the names of exported \fIstdcall\fR
-functions. Variable names and non-stdcall function names are not modified.
-This option is useful when creating GNU-compatible import libs for third
-party DLLs that were built with MS-Windows tools.
-.IP "\fB\-k\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-k"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-kill\-at\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--kill-at"
-.PD
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it
-should not append the string \fB@ <number>\fR. These numbers are
-called ordinal numbers and they represent another way of accessing the
-function in a \s-1DLL\s0, other than by name.
-.IP "\fB\-A\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-A"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-add\-stdcall\-alias\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--add-stdcall-alias"
-.PD
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports file it
-should add aliases for stdcall symbols without \fB@ <number>\fR
-in addition to the symbols with \fB@ <number>\fR.
-.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-p"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-ext\-prefix\-alias\fR \fIprefix\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--ext-prefix-alias prefix"
-.PD
-Causes \fBdlltool\fR to create external aliases for all \s-1DLL\s0
-imports with the specified prefix. The aliases are created for both
-external and import symbols with no leading underscore.
-.IP "\fB\-x\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-x"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-no\-idata4\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--no-idata4"
-.PD
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports and library
-files it should omit the \f(CW\*(C`.idata4\*(C'\fR section. This is for compatibility
-with certain operating systems.
-.IP "\fB\-\-use\-nul\-prefixed\-import\-tables\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--use-nul-prefixed-import-tables"
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports and library
-files it should prefix the \f(CW\*(C`.idata4\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`.idata5\*(C'\fR by zero an
-element. This emulates old gnu import library generation of
-\&\f(CW\*(C`dlltool\*(C'\fR. By default this option is turned off.
-.IP "\fB\-c\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-c"
-.PD 0
-.IP "\fB\-\-no\-idata5\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--no-idata5"
-.PD
-Specifies that when \fBdlltool\fR is creating the exports and library
-files it should omit the \f(CW\*(C`.idata5\*(C'\fR section. This is for compatibility
-with certain operating systems.

-Specifies that \fBdlltool\fR should inspect the import library
-indicated by \fIfilename\fR and report, on \f(CW\*(C`stdout\*(C'\fR, the name(s)
-of the associated \s-1DLL\s0(s). This can be performed in addition to any
-other operations indicated by the other options and arguments.
-\&\fBdlltool\fR fails if the import library does not exist or is not
-actually an import library. See also \fB\-\-identify\-strict\fR.
-.IP "\fB\-\-identify\-strict\fR" 4
-.IX Item "--identify-strict"
-Modifies the behavior of the \fB\-\-identify\fR option, such
-that an error is reported if \fIfilename\fR is associated with
