| <p><code>nlmconv</code> converts the relocatable ‘<samp>i386</samp>’ object file |
| <var>infile</var> into the NetWare Loadable Module <var>outfile</var>, optionally |
| reading <var>headerfile</var> for NLM header information. For instructions |

| ‘<samp>linkers</samp>’ section, ‘<samp>NLMLINK</samp>’ in particular, of the <cite>NLM |
| Development and Tools Overview</cite>, which is part of the NLM Software |
| Developer’s Kit (“NLM SDK”), available from Novell, Inc. |
| <code>nlmconv</code> uses the <small>GNU</small> Binary File Descriptor library to read |
| <var>infile</var>; |
| see <a href="http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a> in <cite>Using LD</cite>, for more information. |
| </p> |
| <p><code>nlmconv</code> can perform a link step. In other words, you can list |
| more than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions |
| file (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line). |
| In this case, <code>nlmconv</code> calls the linker for you. |
