Hello, First : file(1) tells you what binary format is used for each executable on your system. Then : On a 3.0-RELEASE, all userland utilities (ls, csh ....) are elf, the kernel is a.out and you can execute all a.out application program you want (for example netscape) on a recent 3.0(-Stable) userland and the kernel are all elf (you can still run a.out programs - this possibility will stay in FreeBSD 3.x) All of this will stay in 3.1 Release TfH Evren Yurtesen wrote: > > hello, > I would like to know if I am using elf system or a.out system > I have FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE and in /etc/objformat file > there writes OBJFORMAT=elf > but people here are talking that 3.0-RELEASE is still a.out ? > what am I missing? > Evren > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
