.SH DESCRIPTION
GNU \c
.B nm\c
\& lists the symbols from object files \c
.I objfile\c
\&. If no object files are given as arguments, \c
.B nm\c
\& assumes `\|\c
.B a.out\c
\|'.
.SH OPTIONS
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
equivalent.
.TP
.B \-A
.TP
.B \-o
.TP
.B \-\-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.
.TP
.B \-a
.TP
.B \-\-debug\-syms
Display debugger-only symbols; normally these are not listed.
.TP
.B \-B
The same as
.B \-\-format=bsd
(for compatibility with the MIPS \fBnm\fP).
.TP
.B \-C
.TP
.B \-\-demangle
Decode (\fIdemangle\fP) low-level symbol names into user-level names.
Besides removing any initial underscore prepended by the system, this
makes C++ function names readable.
.TP
.B \-D
.TP
.B \-\-dynamic
Display the dynamic symbols rather than the normal symbols. This is
only meaningful for dynamic objects, such as certain types of shared
libraries.
.TP
.B "\-f \fIformat"
Use the output format \fIformat\fP, which can be ``bsd'',
``sysv'', or ``posix''. The default is ``bsd''.
Only the first character of \fIformat\fP is significant; it can be
either upper or lower case.
.TP
.B \-g
.TP
.B \-\-extern\-only
Display only external symbols.
.TP
.B \-n
.TP
.B \-v
.TP
.B \-\-numeric\-sort
Sort symbols numerically by their addresses, not alphabetically by their
names.
.TP
.B \-p
.TP
.B \-\-no\-sort
Don't bother to sort the symbols in any order; just print them in the
order encountered.
.TP
.B \-P
.TP
.B \-\-portability
Use the POSIX.2 standard output format instead of the default format.
Equivalent to ``\-f posix''.
.TP
.B \-s
.TP
.B \-\-print\-armap
When listing symbols from archive members, include the index: a mapping
(stored in the archive by \c
.B ar\c
\& or \c
.B ranlib\c
\&) of what modules
contain definitions for what names.
.TP
.B \-r
.TP
.B \-\-reverse\-sort
Reverse the sense of the sort (whether numeric or alphabetic); let the
last come first.
.TP
.B \-\-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.
.TP
.B "\-t \fIradix"
.TP
.B "\-\-radix=\fIradix"
Use \fIradix\fP as the radix for printing the symbol values. It must be
``d'' for decimal, ``o'' for octal, or ``x'' for hexadecimal.
.TP
.BI "\-\-target=" "bfdname"
Specify an object code format other than your system's default format.
See
.BR objdump ( 1 ),
for information on listing available formats.
.TP
.B \-u
.TP
.B \-\-undefined\-only
Display only undefined symbols (those external to each object file).
.TP
.B \-l
.TP
.B \-\-line\-numbers
For each symbol, use debugging information to try to find a filename and
line number. For a defined symbol, look for the line number of the
address of the symbol. For an undefined symbol, look for the line
number of a relocation entry which refers to the symbol. If line number
information can be found, print it after the other symbol information.
.TP
.B \-V
.TP
.B \-\-version
Show the version number of
.B nm
and exit.
.TP
.B \-\-help
Show a summary of the options to
.B nm
and exit.
