binutils: def file format

 
 13.1 The format of the 'dlltool' '.def' file
 ============================================
 
 A '.def' file contains any number of the following commands:
 
 'NAME' NAME '[ ,' BASE ']'
      The result is going to be named NAME'.exe'.
 
 'LIBRARY' NAME '[ ,' BASE ']'
      The result is going to be named NAME'.dll'.  Note: If you want to
      use LIBRARY as name then you need to quote.  Otherwise this will
      fail due a necessary hack for libtool (see PR binutils/13710 for
      more details).
 
 'EXPORTS ( ( (' NAME1 '[ = ' NAME2 '] ) | ( ' NAME1 '=' MODULE-NAME '.' EXTERNAL-NAME ') ) [ == ' ITS_NAME ']'
 '[' INTEGER '] [ NONAME ] [ CONSTANT ] [ DATA ] [ PRIVATE ] ) *'
      Declares NAME1 as an exported symbol from the DLL, with optional
      ordinal number INTEGER, or declares NAME1 as an alias (forward) of
      the function EXTERNAL-NAME in the DLL. If ITS_NAME is specified,
      this name is used as string in export table.  MODULE-NAME.  Note:
      The 'EXPORTS' has to be the last command in .def file, as keywords
      are treated - beside 'LIBRARY' - as simple name-identifiers.  If
      you want to use LIBRARY as name then you need to quote it.
 
 'IMPORTS ( (' INTERNAL-NAME '=' MODULE-NAME '.' INTEGER ') | [' INTERNAL-NAME '= ]' MODULE-NAME '.' EXTERNAL-NAME ') [ == ) ITS_NAME ] *'
      Declares that EXTERNAL-NAME or the exported function whose ordinal
      number is INTEGER is to be imported from the file MODULE-NAME.  If
      INTERNAL-NAME is specified then this is the name that the imported
      function will be referred to in the body of the DLL. If ITS_NAME is
      specified, this name is used as string in import table.  Note: The
      'IMPORTS' has to be the last command in .def file, as keywords are
      treated - beside 'LIBRARY' - as simple name-identifiers.  If you
      want to use LIBRARY as name then you need to quote it.
 
 'DESCRIPTION' STRING
      Puts STRING into the output '.exp' file in the '.rdata' section.
 
 'STACKSIZE' NUMBER-RESERVE '[, ' NUMBER-COMMIT ']'
 'HEAPSIZE' NUMBER-RESERVE '[, ' NUMBER-COMMIT ']'
      Generates '--stack' or '--heap' NUMBER-RESERVE,NUMBER-COMMIT in the
      output '.drectve' section.  The linker will see this and act upon
      it.
 
 'CODE' ATTR '+'
 'DATA' ATTR '+'
 'SECTIONS (' SECTION-NAME ATTR' + ) *'
      Generates '--attr' SECTION-NAME ATTR in the output '.drectve'
      section, where ATTR is one of 'READ', 'WRITE', 'EXECUTE' or
      'SHARED'.  The linker will see this and act upon it.
