This +information is mostly useful to programmers who are working on the +compilation tools, as opposed to programmers who just want their +program to compile and work. +.SH OPTIONS +Where long and short forms of an option are shown together, they are +equivalent. + +.TP +.IR "objfiles" .\|.\|. +The object files to be examined. When you specify archives, +\c +.B objdump\c +\& shows information on each of the member object files. + +.TP +.B \-a +If any files from \c +.I objfiles\c +\& are archives, display the archive +header information (in a format similar to `\|\c +.B ls \-l\c +\|'). Besides the +information you could list with `\|\c +.B ar tv\c +\|', `\|\c +.B objdump \-a\c +\|' shows +the object file format of each archive member. + +.TP +.BI "-b " "bfdname"\c +\& +You can specify a particular object-code format for your object files as +\c +.I bfdname\c +\&. This may not be necessary; \c +.I objdump\c +\& can +automatically recognize many formats. For example, +.sp +.br +objdump\ \-b\ oasys\ \-m\ vax\ \-h\ fu.o +.br +.sp + +Displays summary information from the section headers (`\|\c +.B \-h\c +\|') of +`\|\c +.B fu.o\c +\|', which is explicitly identified (`\|\c +.B \-m\c +\|') as a Vax object +file in the format produced by Oasys compilers. You can list the +formats available with the `\|\c +.B \-i\c +\|' option. + +.TP +.B \-d +Disassemble. Display the assembler mnemonics for the machine +instructions from \c +.I objfiles\c +\&. + +.TP +.B \-f +File header. Display summary information from the overall header of +each file in \c +.I objfiles\c +\&. + +.TP +.B \-h +.TP +.B +header +Header. Display summary information from the section headers of the +object file. + +.TP +.B \-i +Display a list showing all architectures and object formats available +for specification with \c +.B \-b\c +\& or \c +.B \-m\c +\&. + +.TP +.BI "-j " "name"\c +\& +Display information only for section \c +.I name\c +\& + +.TP +.B \-l +Label the display (using debugging information) with the source filename +and line numbers corresponding to the object code shown. + +.TP +.BI "-m " "machine"\c +\& +Specify the object files \c +.I objfiles\c +\& are for architecture +\c +.I machine\c +\&. You can list available architectures using the `\|\c +.B \-i\c +\|' +option. + +.TP +.B \-r +.TP +.B +reloc +Relocation. Print the relocation entries of the file. + +.TP +.B \-s +Display the full contents of any sections requested. + +.TP +.B \-t +.TP +.B +syms +Symbol Table. Print the symbol table entries of the file. +This is similar to the information provided by the `\|\c +.B nm\c +\|' program. + +.TP +.B \-x +Display all available header information, including the symbol table and +relocation entries. Using `\|\c +.B \-x\c +\|' is equivalent to specifying all of +`\|\c +.B \-a \-f \-h \-r \-t\c +\|'. + +.PP + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.RB "`\|" binutils "\|'" +entry in +.B +info\c +\&; +.I +The GNU Binary Utilities\c +\&, Roland H.
