|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility compresses a kernel or some other bootable binary. Operation
|
|
is in two phases as follows:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
A load image of the executable file is built which omits all but
|
|
the
|
|
.Sq text
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq data
|
|
segments. This image is compressed using
|
|
.Xr gzip 1
|
|
and output as data in relocatable object format.
|
|
.It
|
|
The object file is linked with a special self-hosting loader, producing
|
|
an executable suitable for booting with either the second- or
|
|
third-level bootstraps.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Supported object formats are 32-bit ELF and a.out ZMAGIC.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
operand has a
|
|
.Sq .o
|
|
suffix, input is assumed to be for the link phase, and the first phase
|
|
is omitted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Omit the link phase.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Display object file information.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar format
|
|
Use
|
|
.Ar format
|
|
as the output format, where
|
|
.Ar format
|
|
is
|
|
.Sq aout
|
|
or
|
|
.Sq elf .
|
|
The default format is ELF.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar loader
|
|
Link
|
|
.Ar loader
|
|
as the loader.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar output
|
|
Name the output file
|
|
.Ar output .
|
|
The default is to use the input name with the suffix
|
|
.Sq .o
|
|
(for relocatables) or
|
|
.Sq .kgz
|
|
(for executables).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
Global variables equivalent to the following are defined in the output:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct kgz_hdr {
|
|
char ident[4]; /* identification: "KGZ" */
|
|
uint32_t dload; /* decoded image load address */
|
|
uint32_t dsize; /* decoded image size */
|
|
uint32_t isize; /* image size in memory */
|
|
uint32_t entry; /* entry point */
|
|
uint32_t nsize; /* encoded image size */
|
|
} kgz;
|
|
|
|
uint8_t kgz_ndata[]; /* encoded data */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The encoded data is simply
|
|
.Xr gzip 1
|
|
output: a header (with no optional fields); compressed data; and 32-bit
|
|
CRC and size values.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
As symbols are lost, the usefulness of this utility for compressing
|
|
kernels is limited to situations where
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
cannot be used; otherwise the preferred method of compressing a kernel
|
|
is simply to
|
|
.Xr gzip 1
|
|
it.
