-.SH "NAME"
-yasm_objfmts \- Yasm Supported Object Formats
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.HP \w'\fByasm\fR\ 'u
-\fByasm\fR \fB\-f\ \fR\fB\fIobjfmt\fR\fR \fB\fI\&.\&.\&.\fR\fR
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-The standard Yasm distribution includes a number of modules for different object formats (Yasm\*(Aqs primary output)\&.
-.PP
-The object format is selected on the
-\fByasm\fR(1)
-command line by use of the
-\fB\-f \fR\fB\fIobjfmt\fR\fR
-command line option\&.
-.SH "BIN"
-.PP
-The
-\(lqbin\(rq
-object format produces a flat\-format, non\-relocatable binary file\&. It is appropriate for producing DOS \&.COM executables or things like boot blocks\&. It supports only 3 sections and those sections are written in a predefined order to the output file\&.
-.SH "COFF"
-.PP
-The COFF object format is an older relocatable object format used on older Unix and compatible systems, and also (more recently) on the DJGPP development system for DOS\&.
-.SH "DBG"
-.PP
-The
-\(lqdbg\(rq
-object format is not a
-\(lqreal\(rq
-object format; the output file it creates simply describes the sequence of calls made to it by Yasm and the final object and symbol table information in a human\-readable text format (that in a normal object format would get processed into that object format\*(Aqs particular binary representation)\&. This object format is not intended for real use, but rather for debugging Yasm\*(Aqs internals\&.
-.SH "ELF"
-.PP
-The ELF object format really comes in three flavors:
-\(lqelf32\(rq
-(for 32\-bit targets),
-\(lqelf64\(rq
-(for 64\-bit targets and
-\(lqelfx32\(rq
-(for x32 targets)\&. ELF is a standard object format in common use on modern Unix and compatible systems (e\&.g\&. Linux, FreeBSD)\&. ELF has complex support for relocatable and shared objects\&.
-.SH "MACHO"
-.PP
-The Mach\-O object format really comes in two flavors:
-\(lqmacho32\(rq
-(for 32\-bit targets) and
-\(lqmacho64\(rq
-(for 64\-bit targets)\&. Mach\-O is used as the object format on MacOS X\&. As Yasm currently only supports x86 and AMD64 instruction sets, it can only generate Mach\-O objects for Intel\-based Macs\&.
-.SH "RDF"
-.PP
-The RDOFF2 object format is a simple multi\-section format originally designed for NASM\&. It supports segment references but not WRT references\&. It was designed primarily for simplicity and has minimalistic headers for ease of loading and linking\&. A complete toolchain (linker, librarian, and loader) is distributed with NASM\&.
-.SH "WIN32"
-.PP
-The Win32 object format produces object files compatible with Microsoft compilers (such as Visual C++) that target the 32\-bit x86 Windows platform\&. The object format itself is an extended version of COFF\&.
-.SH "WIN64"
-.PP
-The Win64 object format produces object files compatible with Microsoft compilers that target the 64\-bit
-\(lqx64\(rq
-Windows platform\&. This format is very similar to the win32 object format, but produces 64\-bit objects\&.
-.SH "XDF"
-.PP
-The XDF object format is essentially a simplified version of COFF\&. It\*(Aqs a multi\-section relocatable format that supports 64\-bit physical and virtual addresses\&.
