dsymutil(1)                              BSD General Commands Manual                             dsymutil(1)

NAME
     dsymutil -- manipulate archived DWARF debug symbol files.

SYNOPSIS
     dsymutil [--arch=ARCH] [--out=path] exe_path

DESCRIPTION
     dsymutil links the DWARF debug information found in the object files for an executable exe_path by
     using debug symbols information contained in its symbol table.

     The following options are available:

     --arch=ARCH
              Link DWARF debug information only for specified CPU architecture types.  Architectures may be
              specified by name or by number.  When using this option, an error will be returned if any
              architectures can not be properly linked.  This option can be specified multiple times, once
              for each desired architecture.  All cpu architectures will be linked by default and any archi-tectures architectures
              tectures that can't be properly linked will not cause dsymutil to return an error as long as
              at least one architecture was able to link successfully.

     -h, --help
              Display the help documentation for this command.

     -f, --flat
              Produce a flat dSYM file. A '.dwarf' extension will be appended to the executable name unless
              the output file is specified using the -o option.

     -o path, --out=path
              Specifies an alternate path to place the .dSYM bundle. The default dSYM bundle path is created
              by appending '.dSYM' to the executable name.

     --oso-prepend-path=path
              Specifies a path to prepend to all debug symbol object file paths.

     -s, --symtab
              Dumps the symbol table found in executable or object file(s) and exits.

     -t n, --threads=n
              Specifies the maximum number (n) of simultaneous threads to use when linking multiple archi-tectures. architectures.
              tectures.

     -v, --version
              Display the current version and build date of the dsymutil binary.

     --verbose
              Display verbose information when linking.
