[ objfile... ]
GNU nm
lists the symbols from object files objfile....
If no object files are listed as arguments, nm
assumes
`a.out'.
For each symbol, nm
shows:
-
The symbol value, in the radix selected by options (see below), or
hexadecimal by default.
-
The symbol type. At least the following types are used; others are, as
well, depending on the object file format. If lowercase, the symbol is
local; if uppercase, the symbol is global (external).
A
- Absolute.
B
- BSS (uninitialized data).
C
- Common.
D
- Initialized data.
I
- Indirect reference.
T
- Text (program code).
U
- Undefined.
-
The symbol name.
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
equivalent.
-A
-o
--print-file-name
- Precede each symbol by the name of the input file (or archive element)
in which it was found, rather than identifying the input file once only,
before all of its symbols.
-a
--debug-syms
- Display all symbols, even debugger-only symbols; normally these are not
listed.
-B
- The same as `--format=bsd' (for compatibility with the MIPS
nm
).
-C
--demangle
- Decode (demangle) low-level symbol names into user-level names.
Besides removing any initial underscore prepended by the system, this
makes C++ function names readable. See section c++filt, for more information
on demangling.
--no-demangle
- Do not demangle low-level symbol names. This is the default.
-D
--dynamic
- Display the dynamic symbols rather than the normal symbols. This is
only meaningful for dynamic objects, such as certain types of shared
libraries.
-f format
--format=format
- Use the output format format, which can be
bsd
,
sysv
, or posix
. The default is bsd
.
Only the first character of format is significant; it can be
either upper or lower case.
-g
--extern-only
- Display only external symbols.
-n
-v
--numeric-sort
- Sort symbols numerically by their addresses, rather than alphabetically
by their names.
-p
--no-sort
- Do not bother to sort the symbols in any order; print them in the order
encountered.
-P
--portability
- Use the POSIX.2 standard output format instead of the default format.
Equivalent to `-f posix'.
-s
--print-armap
- When listing symbols from archive members, include the index: a mapping
(stored in the archive by
ar
or ranlib
) of which modules
contain definitions for which names.
-r
--reverse-sort
- Reverse the order of the sort (whether numeric or alphabetic); let the
last come first.
--size-sort
- Sort symbols by size. The size is computed as the difference between
the value of the symbol and the value of the symbol with the next higher
value. The size of the symbol is printed, rather than the value.
-t radix
--radix=radix
- Use radix as the radix for printing the symbol values. It must be
`d' for decimal, `o' for octal, or `x' for hexadecimal.
--target=bfdname
- Specify an object code format other than your system's default format.
See section Target Selection, for more information.
-u
--undefined-only
- Display only undefined symbols (those external to each object file).
-V
--version
- Show the version number of
nm
and exit.
--help
- Show a summary of the options to
nm
and exit.
