DESCRIPTION

Statifier make from elf dynamically linked executable and all it's required libraries one stand-alone executable. This executable can be copied to another machine without any of these shared libraries and run.

OPTIONS

-h, --help: display this help and exit
-k, --keep-working-directory: Do not remove working directory. Also change it from $TMPDIR/statifier.tmpdir.$$ to ./.statifier
-s, --set=VAR=VALUE: Set environment variable VAR to value VALUE. Multiple 'set' options accepted.
-u, --unset=VAR: Unset environment variable VAR. Multiple 'unset' options accepted.
-v, --verbose: verbose output
-V, --version: output version and exit

FILES

$TMPDIR/statifier.tmpdir.$$: Directory which contains all temporary files

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

TMPDIR: Directory for temporary files. If not set /tmp/ used.

EXAMPLES

statifier /bin/df df.static: Pretty trivial. Convert /bin/df to df.static
statifier --set=LD_BIND_NOW=yes /bin/df df.static: Something more interesting. Dynamic linker will resolve all symbols. So statifing will take longer, but resulting exe will have faster startup.
statifier --set=LD_PRELOAD=/some/library/to/by/preloaded /bin/df df.static: Will "link" /bin/df with preloaded library.

NOTE

Environment variables are described in the run-time loader's man page.

LIMITATIONS

Currently it work only on Linux x86, x86_64 and Alpha
