# NAME

`ctfconvert` —
convert debug data to CTF data

# SYNOPSIS

`ctfconvert` | [`-gis`] `-l` label `-L` labelenv [`-o` outfile] object_file

# DESCRIPTION

The `ctfconvert` utility converts debug information from a binary file to CTF data and replaces the debug section of that file with a CTF section called SUNW_ctf. This new section is added to the input file, unless the -o option is present. You can also opt to keep the original debugging section with the -g option.

The following options are available:

`-l` label
  Sets the label as label.
`-L` labelenv
  Instructs `ctfconvert` to read the label from the environment variable labelenv.
`-g`
  Don't delete the original debugging section.
`-i`
  Ignore object files built from other languages than C.
`-s`
  Use the .dynsym ELF section instead of the .symtab ELF section.
`-o` outfile
  Write the output to file in outfile.

# EXIT STATUS

The `ctfconvert` utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
