.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
\&\fBdlltool\fR reads its inputs, which can come from the \fB\-d\fR and
|
|
\&\fB\-b\fR options as well as object files specified on the command
|
|
line. It then processes these inputs and if the \fB\-e\fR option has
|
|
been specified it creates a exports file. If the \fB\-l\fR option
|
|
has been specified it creates a library file and if the \fB\-z\fR option
|
|
has been specified it creates a def file. Any or all of the \fB\-e\fR,
|
|
\&\fB\-l\fR and \fB\-z\fR options can be present in one invocation of
|
|
dlltool.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When creating a \s-1DLL\s0, along with the source for the \s-1DLL\s0, it is necessary
|
|
to have three other files. \fBdlltool\fR can help with the creation of
|
|
these files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first file is a \fI.def\fR file which specifies which functions are
|
|
exported from the \s-1DLL\s0, which functions the \s-1DLL\s0 imports, and so on. This
|
|
is a text file and can be created by hand, or \fBdlltool\fR can be used
|
|
to create it using the \fB\-z\fR option. In this case \fBdlltool\fR
|
|
will scan the object files specified on its command line looking for
|
|
those functions which have been specially marked as being exported and
|
|
put entries for them in the \fI.def\fR file it creates.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In order to mark a function as being exported from a \s-1DLL\s0, it needs to
|
|
have an \fB\-export:<name_of_function>\fR entry in the \fB.drectve\fR
|
|
section of the object file. This can be done in C by using the
|
|
\&\fIasm()\fR operator:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 2
|
|
\& asm (".section .drectve");
|
|
\& asm (".ascii \e"\-export:my_func\e"");
|
|
\&
|
|
\& int my_func (void) { ... }
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
The second file needed for \s-1DLL\s0 creation is an exports file. This file
|
|
is linked with the object files that make up the body of the \s-1DLL\s0 and it
|
|
handles the interface between the \s-1DLL\s0 and the outside world. This is a
|
|
binary file and it can be created by giving the \fB\-e\fR option to
|
|
\&\fBdlltool\fR when it is creating or reading in a \fI.def\fR file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The third file needed for \s-1DLL\s0 creation is the library file that programs
|
|
will link with in order to access the functions in the \s-1DLL\s0 (an `import
|
|
library'). This file can be created by giving the \fB\-l\fR option to
|
|
dlltool when it is creating or reading in a \fI.def\fR file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fB\-y\fR option is specified, dlltool generates a delay-import
|
|
library that can be used instead of the normal import library to allow
|
|
a program to link to the dll only as soon as an imported function is
|
|
called for the first time. The resulting executable will need to be
|
|
linked to the static delayimp library containing _\|\fI_delayLoadHelper2()\fR,
|
|
which in turn will import LoadLibraryA and GetProcAddress from kernel32.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fBdlltool\fR builds the library file by hand, but it builds the
|
|
exports file by creating temporary files containing assembler statements
|
|
and then assembling these. The \fB\-S\fR command-line option can be
|
|
used to specify the path to the assembler that dlltool will use,
|
|
and the \fB\-f\fR option can be used to pass specific flags to that
|
|
assembler. The \fB\-n\fR can be used to prevent dlltool from deleting
|
|
these temporary assembler files when it is done, and if \fB\-n\fR is
|
|
specified twice then this will prevent dlltool from deleting the
|
|
temporary object files it used to build the library.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Here is an example of creating a \s-1DLL\s0 from a source file \fBdll.c\fR and
|
|
also creating a program (from an object file called \fBprogram.o\fR)
|
|
that uses that \s-1DLL:\s0
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 4
|
|
\& gcc \-c dll.c
|
|
\& dlltool \-e exports.o \-l dll.lib dll.o
|
|
\& gcc dll.o exports.o \-o dll.dll
|
|
\& gcc program.o dll.lib \-o program
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fBdlltool\fR may also be used to query an existing import library
|
|
to determine the name of the \s-1DLL\s0 to which it is associated. See the
|
|
description of the \fB\-I\fR or \fB\-\-identify\fR option.

|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "--export-all-symbols"
|
|
Treat all global and weak defined symbols found in the input object
|
|
files as symbols to be exported. There is a small list of symbols which
|
|
are not exported by default; see the \fB\-\-no\-default\-excludes\fR
|
|
option. You may add to the list of symbols to not export by using the
|
|
\&\fB\-\-exclude\-symbols\fR option.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-export\-all\-symbols\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "--no-export-all-symbols"
|
|
Only export symbols explicitly listed in an input \fI.def\fR file or in
|
|
\&\fB.drectve\fR sections in the input object files. This is the default
|
|
behaviour. The \fB.drectve\fR sections are created by \fBdllexport\fR
|
|
attributes in the source code.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-exclude\-symbols\fR \fIlist\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "--exclude-symbols list"
|
|
Do not export the symbols in \fIlist\fR. This is a list of symbol names
|
|
separated by comma or colon characters. The symbol names should not
|
|
contain a leading underscore. This is only meaningful when
|
|
\&\fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR is used.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-default\-excludes\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "--no-default-excludes"
|
|
When \fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR is used, it will by default avoid

|
exporting certain special symbols. The current list of symbols to avoid
|
|
exporting is \fBDllMain@12\fR, \fBDllEntryPoint@0\fR,
|
|
\&\fBimpure_ptr\fR. You may use the \fB\-\-no\-default\-excludes\fR option
|
|
to go ahead and export these special symbols. This is only meaningful

when \fB\-\-export\-all\-symbols\fR is used.

.PD
|
|
Specifies any specific command-line options to be passed to the
|
|
assembler when building the exports file. This option will work even if
|
|
the \fB\-S\fR option is not used. This option only takes one argument,
|
|
and if it occurs more than once on the command line, then later
|
|
occurrences will override earlier occurrences. So if it is necessary to
|
|
pass multiple options to the assembler they should be enclosed in
|
|
double quotes.

|
|
.PD
|
|
Specifies the name to be stored in the \fI.def\fR file as the name of
|
|
the \s-1DLL\s0 when the \fB\-e\fR option is used. If this option is not
|
|
present, then the filename given to the \fB\-e\fR option will be
|
|
used as the name of the \s-1DLL\s0.

Specifies the type of machine for which the library file should be
|
|
built. \fBdlltool\fR has a built in default type, depending upon how
|
|
it was created, but this option can be used to override that. This is

normally only useful when creating DLLs for an \s-1ARM\s0 processor, when the

.PD
|
|
Specifies that \fB@<number>\fR suffixes should be omitted from the names
|
|
of stdcall functions that will be imported from the \s-1DLL\s0. This is
|
|
useful when creating an import library for a \s-1DLL\s0 which exports stdcall
|
|
functions but without the usual \fB@<number>\fR symbol name suffix.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This does not change the naming of symbols provided by the import library
|
|
to programs linked against it, but only the entries in the import table
|
|
(ie the .idata section).

Specifies that \fBdlltool\fR should inspect the import library
|
|
indicated by \fIfilename\fR and report, on \f(CW\*(C`stdout\*(C'\fR, the name(s)
|
|
of the associated \s-1DLL\s0(s). This can be performed in addition to any

|
other operations indicated by the other options and arguments.

Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are
|
|
inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR
|
|
does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated

literally, and not removed.

.Sp
|
|
Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
|
|
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
|
|
option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
|
|
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
|
|
with a backslash. The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
|
|
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
