PDP10-TOOLS =========== pdp10-tools is a collection of utilities for pdp10-elf. ar: archiver for pdp10-elf object files as: assembler producing pdp10-elf object files intended primarily as an assembler for GCC output; the syntax is modelled after normal UNIX/ELF syntax rather than classic TOPS-10, TOPS-20, or ITS syntax elf2boot: converts pdp10-elf executables to KLH10-bootable files ld: linker for pdp10-elf object files nm: list symbols from pdp10-elf object files od: file dumper for binary files with 9-bit bytes (nonets) ranlib: add an index to a pdp10-elf archive (same as `ar s`) readelf: display information about pdp10-elf object files, extended with an option to disassemble .text sections sim: a simulator for running pdp10-elf executables on a hypothetical fully-extended PDP10 called the KE10 8to9: a utility to convert octet files to nonet files and back Support libraries include: archive: reading and writing archives containing pdp10-elf object files pdp10_elf36: reading and writing pdp10-elf (aka Elf36) object files pdp10_stdio: reading and writing nonet-based files on an octet-based host See the TODO file for known omissions and planned improvements.
