MERGEPEF(1)                              BSD General Commands Manual                             MERGEPEF(1)

NAME
     /usr/bin/MergePef -- Merge multiple PEF containers into one file

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/MergePef [-v] [-t type] [-c creator] <input-file> ... -o <output-file>

DESCRIPTION
     The /usr/bin/MergePef command reads all input files, interpreting them as PowerPC Executable Format
     (PEF) container files.  It combines the files into one PEF containter and writes it to the output file.
     MergePEF does not read Standard Input and will not write Standard Output.

     The /usr/bin/MergePef command accepts the following arguments:

     -v            Produce verbose diagnostics to standard output.

     -t type       Set the Extended HFS file type of the output file.  The default value is 'shlb'.

     -c creator    Set the Extended HFS file creator of the output file.  The default value is 'MACS'.

     <input-file>  One or more paths to PEF file containers.

     -o <output-file>
                   Path to the output file.

NOTES
     The PEF container format is supported on Mac OS X by the Carbon runtime libraries, but is not the pre-ferred preferred
     ferred executable format on Mac OS X.  There are no developer tools to create PEF containers natively
     on Mac OS X.
