💖 LDO65 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ldo65 manual page, section 1 of the General Commands Manual ✨ this is the whole thing, and we're gonna get through it together, no skimming, no skipping, periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

ldo65 — the linker for o65 object files 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ldo65 [OPTION]... FILE...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So. ldo65 is a linker for files that are in the o65 object format 💅 and here's the tea: it used to be called ld65, but it got renamed so it wouldn't throw hands with the cc65 package (which is, and I cannot stress this enough, a separate product). iconic behaviour honestly.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -b? addr — relocate segment ? to addr. the ? has to be one of t, d, b or z, which stand for the text, data, bss and zero segment respectively, in that exact order 🌸 if you need the full explanation, run, don't walk, to the xa(1) man page.
  • -o filename — set the output filename. if you don't say anything, it just defaults to a.o65 🤷‍♀️
  • -L name — lets the label name stay undefined, even after linking. you can use this option multiple times if you've got multiple labels that need to stay mysterious 💀
  • -U — lets any label stay undefined, even after linking. the "i don't want to know anybody's name" option fr fr.
  • -G — suppress writing of globals 🙈
  • -g name — only export the global name. same deal as -L: specify it multiple times for multiple globals, no cap.
  • --help — show a summary of options. the vibe check.
  • --version — show version of program 👑
