This is useful only for AT&T +3B20 Computer object files which are to be "swab-dumped" from a DEC machine +to a 3B20 Computer. +.PP +.TP 12 +.BR \-t " target" +Converts the object file to the byte ordering of the +machine (\f2target\f1) to which the object file is being shipped. This +may be another host or a target machine. Legal values for +.I target +are: pdp, vax, ibm, i80, x86, b16, n3b, m32, and mc68. +.PP +Mc68conv can be used to convert all object files in common object file +format. It can be used on either +the source ("sending") or target ("receiving") machine. +.PP +Mc68conv is meant to ease the problems created +by a multi-host cross-compilation development environment. Mc68conv is best +used within a procedure for shipping object files from one machine to +another. +.SH "EXAMPLE" +.nf +# ship object files from pdp11 to ibm +$echo \(**.out | mc68conv -t ibm -$OFC\/foo.o +$uucp \(**.v my370!~\/rje\/ +.fi +.SH "DIAGNOSTICS" +All diagnostics are +intended to be self-explanatory. Fatal diagnostics on the command +lines cause termination. Fatal diagnostics on an input file cause the +program to continue to the next input file. +.bp +.SH "WARNINGS" +.PP +Mc68conv will not convert archives from one format to another if +both the source and target machines have the same byte ordering. +The +.SM UNIX +tool +.IR convert (1) +should be used for this purpose. |
