DESCRIPTION
GNU nm will list the symbols from object files objfile.
OPTIONS
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
equivalent.
- objfile...
-
Object files whose symbols are to be listed. If no object files are
listed as arguments, nm assumes `a.out'.
- -a
-
- --debug-syms
-
Display debugger-only symbols; normally these are not listed.
- -g
-
- --extern-only
-
Display only external symbols.
- -p
-
- --no-sort
-
Don't bother to sort the symbols in any order; just print them in the
order encountered.
- -n
-
- --numeric-sort
-
Sort symbols numerically by their addresses, not alphabetically by their
names.
- -s
-
- --print-armap
-
When listing symbols from archive members, include the index: a mapping
(stored in the archive by ar or ranlib) of what modules
contain definitions for what names.
- -o
-
- --print-file-name
-
Precede each symbol by the name of the input file where it was found,
rather than identifying the input file once only before all of its
symbols.
- -r
-
- --reverse-sort
-
Reverse the sense of the sort (whether numeric or alphabetic); let the
last come first.
- --target bfdname
-
Specify an object code format other than your system's default format.
See
objdump(1),
for information on listing available formats.
- -u
-
- --undefined-only
-
Display only undefined symbols (those external to each object file).
