RELOC(VIII) 2/7/73 RELOC(VIII)
NAME
reloc - relocate object files
SYNOPSIS
reloc file octal [ - ]
DESCRIPTION
Reloc modifies the named object program file so that it will
operate correctly at a different core origin than the one
for which it was assembled or loaded.
The new core origin is the old origin increased by the given
octal number (or decreased if the number has a `-' sign).
If the object file was generated by ld, the -r and -d
options must have been given to preserve the relocation
information and define any common symbols in the file.
If the optional last argument is given, then any setd
instruction at the start of the file will be replaced by a
no-op.
The purpose of this command is to simplify the preparation
of object programs for systems which have no relocation
hardware. It is hard to imagine a situation in which it
would be useful to attempt directly to execute a program
treated by reloc.
