OBJ4LB.TXT

    obj4lb' is used to modify the symbols in a relocatable
      object file, it can handle a.out and coff formats.
                                                 -- e.g. myfile.o
     The modifications are listed in a .4lb (export) file.
							                     -- e.g. myfile.4lb
     Output is placed in a .olb file which is in the same format
        as the input file.                       -- e.g. myfile.olb


     The .4lb file has 2 types of entry:
        rename:	_oldsym _newsym
        export: _symbol
     Any line not starting with `rename:' or `export:' is ignored.

	All renames are completed before exports are processed.
	Symbols which are exported are given global characteristics,
	all other symbols are given local characteristics, comdefs
	are moved to bss.

	If a library entry is composed of multiple source files, then
	the globals which link the source files may be spurious when
	the combined files are stored as a library or archive entry. Use 
	`aout4lb' to clean up the result. In a dynamic linking environment,
	global symbol clashes must be avoided. After `aout4lb' has set up
	the desired globals, `strip' may be run to eliminate the local
	symbols and thus make the library entry smaller.
