  70. <h4 class="subsection">3.4.3 Commands Dealing with Object File Formats</h4>

  71. <p>A couple of linker script commands deal with object file formats.

  72. </p>

  73. <dl compact="compact">

  74. <dt><code>OUTPUT_FORMAT(<var>bfdname</var>)</code></dt>

  75. <dt><code>OUTPUT_FORMAT(<var>default</var>, <var>big</var>, <var>little</var>)</code></dt>

  76. <dd><a name="index-OUTPUT_005fFORMAT_0028bfdname_0029"></a>

  77. <a name="index-output-file-format-in-linker-script"></a>

  78. <p>The <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT</code> command names the BFD format to use for the

  79. output file (see <a href="BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>).  Using <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT(<var>bfdname</var>)</code> is

  80. exactly like using &lsquo;<samp>--oformat <var>bfdname</var></samp>&rsquo; on the command line

  81. (see <a href="Options.html#Options">Command-line Options</a>).  If both are used, the command

  82. line option takes precedence.

  83. </p>

  84. <p>You can use <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT</code> with three arguments to use different

  85. formats based on the &lsquo;<samp>-EB</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>-EL</samp>&rsquo; command-line options.

  86. This permits the linker script to set the output format based on the

  87. desired endianness.

  88. </p>

  89. <p>If neither &lsquo;<samp>-EB</samp>&rsquo; nor &lsquo;<samp>-EL</samp>&rsquo; are used, then the output format

  90. will be the first argument, <var>default</var>.  If &lsquo;<samp>-EB</samp>&rsquo; is used, the

  91. output format will be the second argument, <var>big</var>.  If &lsquo;<samp>-EL</samp>&rsquo; is

  92. used, the output format will be the third argument, <var>little</var>.

  93. </p>

  94. <p>For example, the default linker script for the MIPS ELF target uses this

  95. command:

  96. </p><div class="smallexample">

  97. <pre class="smallexample">OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-bigmips, elf32-bigmips, elf32-littlemips)

  98. </pre></div>

  99. <p>This says that the default format for the output file is

  100. &lsquo;<samp>elf32-bigmips</samp>&rsquo;, but if the user uses the &lsquo;<samp>-EL</samp>&rsquo; command-line

  101. option, the output file will be created in the &lsquo;<samp>elf32-littlemips</samp>&rsquo;

  102. format.

  103. </p>

  104. </dd>

  105. <dt><code>TARGET(<var>bfdname</var>)</code></dt>

  106. <dd><a name="index-TARGET_0028bfdname_0029"></a>

  107. <a name="index-input-file-format-in-linker-script"></a>

  108. <p>The <code>TARGET</code> command names the BFD format to use when reading input

  109. files.  It affects subsequent <code>INPUT</code> and <code>GROUP</code> commands.

  110. This command is like using &lsquo;<samp>-b <var>bfdname</var></samp>&rsquo; on the command line

  111. (see <a href="Options.html#Options">Command-line Options</a>).  If the <code>TARGET</code> command

  112. is used but <code>OUTPUT_FORMAT</code> is not, then the last <code>TARGET</code>

  113. command is also used to set the format for the output file.  See <a href="BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>.
