NAME
nm—list symbols from object files.

SYNOPSIS

nm  [-a|--debug-syms] [-g|--extern-only] [-s|--print-armap] [-o|--print-file-name] [-n|--numeric-sort] [-p|--no-sort] [-r|--reverse-sort] [-u|--undefined-only] [--target= bfdname ] [ objfile ...]

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).
