+This is similar to the information provided by the @samp{nm} program,
+although the display format is different. The format of the output
+depends upon the format of the file being dumped, but there are two main
+types. One looks like this:
+
+@smallexample
+[ 4](sec 3)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 3) (nx 1) 0x00000000 .bss
+[ 6](sec 1)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 fred
+@end smallexample
+
+where the number inside the square brackets is the number of the entry
+in the symbol table, the @var{sec} number is the section number, the
+@var{fl} value are the symbol's flag bits, the @var{ty} number is the
+symbol's type, the @var{scl} number is the symbol's storage class and
+the @var{nx} value is the number of auxilary entries associated with
+the symbol. The last two fields are the symbol's value and its name.
+
+The other common output format, usually seen with ELF based files,
+looks like this:
+
+@smallexample
+00000000 l d .bss 00000000 .bss
+00000000 g .text 00000000 fred
+@end smallexample
+
+Here the first number is the symbol's value (sometimes refered to as
+its address). The next field is actually a set of characters and
+spaces indicating the flag bits that are set on the symbol. These
+characters are described below. The next field is another number
+associated with the symbol, which for common symbols is the alignment
+and for other symbol is the size. Finally the symbol's name is
+displayed.
+
+The flag characters are divided into 7 groups as follows:
+@table @code
+@item l
+@itemx g
+@itemx !
+The symbol is local (l), global (g), neither (a space) or both (!). A
+symbol can be neither local or global for a variety of reasons, eg
+because it is used for debugging, but it is probably an indication of
+a bug if it is ever both local and global.
+
+@item w
+The symbol is weak (w) or strong (a space).
+
+@item C
+The symbol denotes a constructor (C) or an ordinary symbol (a space).
+
+@item W
+The symbol is a warning (W) or a normal symbol (a space). A warning
+symbol's name is a message to be displayed if the symbol following the
+warning symbol is ever referenced.
+
+@item I
+The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol (I) or a normal
+symbol (a space).
+
+@item d
+@itemx D
+The symbol is a debugging symbol (d) or a dynamic symbol (D) or a
+normal symbol (a space).
+
+@item F
+@item f
+@item O
+The symbol is the name of a function (f) or a file (F) or an object
+(O) or just a normal symbol (a space).
