The post-linker is a Symbian-specific build tool. Its principal function -is to create executables (DLLs and EXEs) in the particular format required -by Symbian platform, known as the E32Image format. Commercial compiler -and linkers, such as ARM's RVCT and GNU GCC, cannot directly generate that -format. Such compilers do however support a standard output format called -the Executable and Linking Format (ELF) (defined at http://www.caldera.com/developers/gabi/). A tool is -therefore needed to convert from the ELF format into the E32Image format, -and this is the key role of the post-linker. The tool also contains the functionality -to maintain and create the DEF files used for freezing the exports of libraries.

-

In ordinary use, the post-linker is not used directly by users. It is called -from the makefiles generated by abld on the command line, -or from the build commands of an IDE.

-

The tool can also be used to output -a description of an existing E32Image file for analysis.
