<h3 class="section">17.1 Target Selection</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>A <dfn>target</dfn> is an object file format.  A given target may be
 | 
						|
supported for multiple architectures (see <a href="Architecture-Selection.html#Architecture-Selection">Architecture Selection</a>). 
 | 
						|
A target selection may also have variations for different operating
 | 
						|
systems or architectures.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>The command to list valid target values is <span class="samp">objdump -i</span>
 | 
						|
(the first column of output contains the relevant information).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>Some sample values are: <span class="samp">a.out-hp300bsd</span>, <span class="samp">ecoff-littlemips</span>,
 | 
						|
<span class="samp">a.out-sunos-big</span>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>You can also specify a target using a configuration triplet.  This is
 | 
						|
the same sort of name that is passed to <span class="file">configure</span> to specify a
 | 
						|
target.  When you use a configuration triplet as an argument, it must be
 | 
						|
fully canonicalized.  You can see the canonical version of a triplet by
 | 
						|
running the shell script <span class="file">config.sub</span> which is included with the
 | 
						|
sources.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>Some sample configuration triplets are: <span class="samp">m68k-hp-bsd</span>,
 | 
						|
<span class="samp">mips-dec-ultrix</span>, <span class="samp">sparc-sun-sunos</span>.
