This section describes how to use a steering file to manage symbol names in output files. For example, you can use steering files to protect intellectual property, or avoid namespace clashes. A steering file is a text file that contains a set of commands to edit the symbol tables of output objects.

Use the armlink command-line option --edit file-list to specify the steering file(s). When you are specifying more than one steering file, the syntax can be either of the following:

armlink --edit file1 --edit file2 --edit file3

armlink --edit file1,file2,file3 

Do not include spaces between the comma and the filenames. See --edit=file_list for more information.
