The GNU Binary Utilities, or '''binutils''', is a collection of Programming Tool s for the manipulation of Object Code in various Object File Format s. The current versions were originally written by programmers at Cygnus Solutions using the Binary File Descriptor library (libbfd). They are typically used in conjunction with GNU Compiler Collection , Make , and GDB . The binutils include the following commands: Originally the package consisted of only the minor utilities, but later the GNU Assembler (GAS) and GNU Linker (GLD) were included in releases, since their functionality is so closely related. Most of the binutils are rather simple programs. Most of the complexity is encapsulated in the Libbfd and Libopcodes libraries, which they share. The original BFD versions were written by David Henkel-Wallace and Steve Chamberlain . Past maintainers have included Ken Raeburn and Ian Lance Taylor . As Of 2005 the current maintainer is Nick Clifton . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
