The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. The main ones are: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
* ld - the GNU linker. |
| 4 |
* as - the GNU assembler. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do |
| 7 |
low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble |
| 8 |
and disassemble machine instructions. |
