This is required for .Ql uimg format images. . .It Fl a Ar address Sets the image load address. This is an integer between 0 and .Dv UINT32_MAX . This is required for all .Ql uimg image types except for .Li script , ramdisk , and .Li kernel_noload . . .It Fl C Po Xo .Li bz2 Ns \||\| Ns .Li gz Ns \||\| Ns .Li lzma Ns \||\| Ns .Li lzo Ns \||\| Ns .Li none .Xc Pc Defines the compression. The default is .Ql none . . .It Fl E Ar address Define the entry point. This is an integer between 0 and .Dv UINT32_MAX . This option is the same as .Fl e but it inverts the bytes to convert the 32 bit integer from little to big endian (or vice versa). If .Fl E or .Fl e are not set, the entry point defaults to the image load address .Pq Fl a . . .It Fl e Ar address Define the entry point. This is an integer between 0 and .Dv UINT32_MAX . If .Fl E or .Fl e are not set, the entry point defaults to the image load address .Pq Fl a . . .It Fl f Po Xo .Li arm64 Ns \||\| Ns .Li uimg .Xc Pc Defines the output image format type. The default is .Ql uimg . . .It Fl h Display the usage and exit. . .It Fl m Ar magic Set the magic used for .Ql uimg format images. This is an integer between 0 and .Dv UINT32_MAX . The default is .Ql 0x27051956 . . .It Fl n Ar name Defines the image name.
