💖 CTFMERGE(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ctfmerge(1) from the General Commands Manual: the merge-everything CTF page, now with main character energy. Every flag, file, label, exit code and tiny detail is still here. periodt. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ctfmerge — merge several CTF data sections into one

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ctfmerge [-fgstv] -l label -L labelenv -o outfile file ...
ctfmerge [-fgstv] -l label -L labelenv -o outfile -d uniqfile [-g]
         [-D uniqlabel] file ...
ctfmerge [-fgstv] -l label -L labelenv -o outfile -w withfile file ...
ctfmerge [-g] -c srcfile destfile

tiny heads-up, bestie: the synopsis has -D uniqlabel with a capital D, and the option list further down has -d uniqlabel with a lowercase d. That's literally what the page says, so we're keeping both exactly. no autocorrect energy, no merging, no "fixing" 😭✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The ctfmerge utility merges several CTF (Compact C Type Format) data sections from several files into one output file, unifying common data. it's giving merge, unify, slay.

The following options are available:

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -f — Match global symbols to global CTF data.
  • -g — Don't delete the original debugging sections.
  • -s — Use the .dynsym ELF section instead of the .symtab ELF section.
  • -t — Make sure that all object files have a CTF section.
  • -v — Enable verbose mode.
  • -l label — Sets the label as label.
  • -L labelenv — Instructs ctfmerge to read the label from the environment variable labelenv.
  • -o outfile — Use outfile to store the merged CTF data.
  • -d uniqfile — Uniquify against uniqfile.
  • -d uniqlabel — Uniquify against label uniqlabel.
  • -w withfile — Additive merge with withfile.
  • -c srcfile destfile — Copy CTF data from srcfile into destfile.

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

The ctfmerge utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. vibe check: success is 0, errors are bigger than 0, and that's the whole mood.
