.SH DESCRIPTION
The GNU
.B objcopy
utility copies the contents of an object file to another.
.B objcopy
uses the GNU BFD Library to read and write the object files. It can
write the destination object file in a format different from that of
the source object file. The exact behavior of
.B objcopy
is controlled by command-line options.
* Makefile.in: Note dependencies on bucomm.h. (cplus-dem.o): Link c++filt with version.o. * strings.c: Include bucomm.h and add prototypes to other decls. Remove -h option. * bucomm.h: Declare xrealloc. * nm.c, objcopy.c, objdump.c, size.c, strings.c (main, usage): Add --help option. Put "GNU" in the version message. (usage): Take stream and exit status as args. (main): Pass new args to usage.

.B objcopy
creates temporary files to do its translations and deletes them
afterward.
.B objcopy
uses BFD to do all its translation work; it knows about all the
formats BFD knows about, and thus is able to recognize most formats
without being told explicitly.

Remove -h option. * bucomm.h: Declare xrealloc. * nm.c, objcopy.c, objdump.c, size.c, strings.c (main, usage): Add --help option. Put "GNU" in the version message. (usage): Take stream and exit status as args. (main): Pass new args to usage.

not affected). \fIbyte\fP can be in the range from 0 to the
interleave-1. This option is useful for creating files to program
