-
-@command{nlmconv} converts the relocatable @samp{i386} object file
-@var{infile} into the NetWare Loadable Module @var{outfile}, optionally
-reading @var{headerfile} for NLM header information. For instructions
-on writing the NLM command file language used in header files, see the

-Development and Tools Overview}, which is part of the NLM Software
-Developer's Kit (``NLM SDK''), available from Novell, Inc.
-@command{nlmconv} uses the @sc{gnu} Binary File Descriptor library to read
-@var{infile};
-@ifclear man
-see @ref{BFD,,BFD,ld.info,Using LD}, for more information.
-@end ifclear
-
-@command{nlmconv} can perform a link step. In other words, you can list
-more than one object file for input if you list them in the definitions
-file (rather than simply specifying one input file on the command line).
-In this case, @command{nlmconv} calls the linker for you.

+@itemx --recursion-limit
+@itemx --no-recursion-limit
+Enables or disables a limit on the amount of recursion performed
+whilst demangling strings. Since the name mangling formats allow for
+an inifinite level of recursion it is possible to create strings whose
+decoding will exhaust the amount of stack space available on the host
+machine, triggering a memory fault. The limit tries to prevent this
+from happening by restricting recursion to 2048 levels of nesting.
+
+The default is for this limit to be enabled, but disabling it may be
+necessary in order to demangle truly complicated names. Note however
+that if the recursion limit is disabled then stack exhaustion is
+possible and any bug reports about such an event will be rejected.
+
+The @option{-r} option is a synonym for the
+@option{--no-recurse-limit} option. The @option{-R} option is a
+synonym for the @option{--recurse-limit} option.
+
+Note this option is only effective if the @option{-C} or
+@option{--demangle} option has been enabled.

+@command{elfedit} updates the ELF header and program property of ELF
+files which have the matching ELF machine and file types. The options
+control how and which fields in the ELF header and program property
+should be updated.
@var{elffile}@dots{} are the ELF files to be updated. 32-bit and
64-bit ELF files are supported, as are archives containing ELF files.
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
equivalent. At least one of the @option{--output-mach},
-@option{--output-type} and @option{--output-osabi} options must be given.
+@option{--output-type}, @option{--output-osabi},
+@option{--enable-x86-feature} and @option{--disable-x86-feature}
+options must be given.
@table @env
Change the ELF OSABI in the ELF header to @var{osabi}. The
supported ELF OSABI are the same as @option{--input-osabi}.
+@item --enable-x86-feature=@var{feature}
+Set the @var{feature} bit in program property in @var{exec} or @var{dyn}
+ELF files with machine types of @var{i386} or @var{x86-64}. The
+supported features are, @var{ibt} and @var{shstk}.
+
+@item --disable-x86-feature=@var{feature}
+Clear the @var{feature} bit in program property in @var{exec} or
+@var{dyn} ELF files with machine types of @var{i386} or @var{x86-64}.
+The supported features are the same as @option{--enable-x86-feature}.
+
+Note: @option{--enable-x86-feature} and @option{--disable-x86-feature}
+are available only on hosts with @samp{mmap} support.
