SYSGEN
16.1 Overview
The SYSGEN tool concatenates the parts of an image. SYSGEN arranges the
specified input files into one contiguous image based on information in the file
header or supplied on the command line.
SYSGEN also provides padding between the end of one input file and the next so
that the output is what you expect without regard for the size of the input files.
16.2 Command Format
The SYSGEN utility command format is:
>% sysgen [- options ] [[- file_options ] input_file]...
[[-
file_options ] output_file]
The following table describes the file options:
File Option Description
a Specifies a.out file produced by GAS. This is the default.
c Specifies DIGITAL UNIX coff object file.
ennn Overrides or supplies entry point or base address of image. The number
supplied is a hexadecimal number. This is required if there is no header
information in the file.
o Specifies output file. If not supplied, defaults to stdout.
p Specifies the byte used for padding between images. The default is
0x00.
s Specifies stripped format file (no header).
