| 6l is a modified version of the Plan 9 linker. The original is documented at | |
| http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/2l | |
| Its target architecture is the x86-64, referred to by these tools as amd64. | |
| It reads files in .6 format generated by 6g, 6c, and 6a and emits | |
| a binary called 6.out by default. | |
| Major changes include: | |
| - support for ELF and Mach-O binary files | |
| - support for segmented stacks (this feature is implemented here, not in the compilers). | |
| Original options are listed in the link above. | |
| Options new in this version: | |
| -d | |
| Elide the dynamic linking header. With this option, the binary | |
| is statically linked and does not refer to dynld. Without this option | |
| (the default), the binary's contents are identical but it is loaded with dynld. | |
| -e | |
| Emit an extra ELF-compatible symbol table useful with tools such as | |
| nm, gdb, and oprofile. This option makes the binary file considerably larger. | |
| -H6 | |
| Write Apple Mach-O binaries (default when $GOOS is darwin) | |
| -H7 | |
| Write Linux ELF binaries (default when $GOOS is linux) | |
| -L dir1,dir2,.. | |
| Search for libraries (package files) in the comma-separated list of directories. | |
| The default is the single location $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_amd64. | |
| -r dir1:dir2:... | |
| Set the dynamic linker search path when using ELF. | |
| -V | |
| Print the linker version. | |
