41.Op Fl t Ar string
42.Ar
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44This command marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for
45.Dx .
46.Pp
47The options are as follows:
48.Bl -tag -width Fl
49.It Fl f Ar ELF_ABI_number
50forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number.
51Incompatible with the
52.Fl t
53option.
54These values are assigned by SCO/USL.
55.It Fl l
56lists all known ELF types on the standard error channel.
57.It Fl v
58turns on verbose reporting.
59.It Fl t Ar string
60Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the
61.Ar string
62ABI type.
63Currently supported ABIs are
64.Dq Fx ,
65.Dq Tn Linux ,
66and
67.Dq Tn SVR4 .
68.Ns ( Dx
69currently uses
70.Dq Fx
71as its native branding.)
72.It Ar file
73If
74.Fl t Ar string
75is given it will brand
76.Ar file
77to be of type
78.Ar string ,
79otherwise it will simply display the branding of

82.Sh EXAMPLES
83The following is an example of a typical usage
84of the
85.Nm
86command:
87.Pp
88.Dl % brandelf file
89.Dl % brandelf -t Linux file
90.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
91Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command
92fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly,
93or the brand requested is not one of the known types and the
