obj2coff - convert OBJ format modules to COFF format modules
usage: obj2coff objmodule coffmodule
DESCRIPTION
The obj2coff command converts SR9.5 or later object format modules to
SR10 COFF format modules. Either individual modules, or complete bound
programs may be converted.
This command cannot be used to convert object module libraries, see
lbr2ar(1) for that purpose.
CAUTIONS
If obj2coff encounters an object module stamped with an SR8 systype
(sys3, bsd4.1, or any SR8), it converts it to COFF but does not change
the systype, and issues a warning:
module is stamped with obsolete systype 'systype_name'
Some Unix system calls may behave differently between sys3 and sys5, or
between bsd4.1 and bsd4.2, so users are cautioned to examine their
programs carefully for any effects caused by changes in system call
semantics.
For object format files, streams 2 and 3 are used for error input and
error output, respectively. No error input stream is automatically
assigned for COFF format files; stream 2 is assigned to error output.
Thus an object file which has been converted to COFF format may not work
if it attempts to read error input. Moreover, if it writes to error
output, the error "operation attempted on unopened stream" will occur.
