NAME
     elf2aout — Convert ELF binary to a.out format

SYNOPSIS
     elf2aout [-o outfile] infile

DESCRIPTION
     The elf2aout utility is used to convert an ELF formatted binary, namely a
     kernel, to an a.out formatted one.  Most OpenBoot firmware require an
     a.out format or FCode boot image and this utility is designed to accommo‐
     date.  If infile is not in ELF format, an error message will be pre‐
     sented.

SEE ALSO
     elf(3), a.out(5)

HISTORY
     The elf2aout utility first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.
