Hello Marcin,

The executable file format is still the old 'a.out' one:

Documentation/html/exe_format.html

Please tell me if anything is not clear so that we would address it in the documentation.

Stripping ? 'ia16-elf-strip' knows how to strip the ELF format (as it name tells it :-), but even if intermediate object files (*.o *.a) are in ELF, ELKS has custom 'ld' scripts (see '*.ld' in the repository) that convert ELF format to 'a.out' format, and drop out all that is not 'code', 'data', 'bbs' and 'rodata'. So they already strip...

Thanks,

MFLD

Thank you for your explanation.

Could you tell me...

- ...where I can find description of ELKS executable file? 'file'
oprogram recognize it as 'Linux-8086', but there is no info about this
format. Ihave found description of process' memory only in
'Documentation' directory.

- ...how to perform 'strip'. There is ia16-elf-strip program but it
says it doesn't recognize output format.

Thanks in advance, Marcin.
