14. stubify

Usage: stubify [-v] [-g] [-stubparams=param[,param...]] files

stubify is a utility that adds a DOS executable stub loader to the front of a COFF image. The input program may be COFF or a stubbed `.exe', and may be COFF with `.exe' extension. The resulting file will have `.exe' extension.

Options:

-v

Verbose mode. When given this switch, stubify prints verbose output on the files processed.

-g

Generate mode. When given this switch, stubify will create an image containing only the stub, which can be modified by stubedit (see section 15. stubedit) to point to a different existing program in the same directory. This is used to simulate links, so argv[0] can be used to change program behavior or create a small alias to the other program.

-stubparams=param[,param...]

Pass `param[ param...]' to stubedit to tune the stub's parameters. Commas in `param[,param...]' are converted into spaces. See the documentation of stubedit (see section 15. stubedit) for the available parameters.
