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

usually local; if uppercase, the symbol is global (external). There

|
Enables or disables a limit on the amount of recursion performed
|
|
whilst demangling strings. Since the name mangling formats allow for
|
|
an infinite level of recursion it is possible to create strings whose
|
|
decoding will exhaust the amount of stack space available on the host
|
|
machine, triggering a memory fault. The limit tries to prevent this
|
|
from happening by restricting recursion to 2048 levels of nesting.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The default is for this limit to be enabled, but disabling it may be
|
|
necessary in order to demangle truly complicated names. Note however
|
|
that if the recursion limit is disabled then stack exhaustion is
|
|
possible and any bug reports about such an event will be rejected.

When display \s-1GNU\s0 indirect function symbols \fBnm\fR will default

to using the \f(CW\*(C`i\*(C'\fR character for both local indirect functions and

global indirect functions. The \fB\-\-ifunc\-chars\fR option allows

the user to specify a string containing one or two characters. The

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.

information for all enclosing scopes back to the first non-inlined

This option is ignored for compatibility with the \s-1AIX\s0 version of

\&\fBnm\fR. It takes one parameter which must be the string

\&\fB32_64\fR. The default mode of \s-1AIX\s0 \fBnm\fR corresponds

Load the plugin called \fIname\fR to add support for extra target

types. This option is only available if the toolchain has been built

|
with plugin support enabled.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If \fB\-\-plugin\fR is not provided, but plugin support has been
|
|
enabled then \fBnm\fR iterates over the files in
|
|
\&\fI${libdir}/bfd\-plugins\fR in alphabetic order and the first
|
|
plugin that claims the object in question is used.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Please note that this plugin search directory is \fInot\fR the one
|
|
used by \fBld\fR's \fB\-plugin\fR option. In order to make
|
|
\&\fBnm\fR use the linker plugin it must be copied into the
|
|
\&\fI${libdir}/bfd\-plugins\fR directory. For \s-1GCC\s0 based compilations
|
|
the linker plugin is called \fIliblto_plugin.so.0.0.0\fR. For Clang
|
|
based compilations it is called \fILLVMgold.so\fR. The \s-1GCC\s0 plugin
|
|
is always backwards compatible with earlier versions, so it is
|
|
sufficient to just copy the newest one.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-size\-sort\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "--size-sort"
|
|
Sort symbols by size. For \s-1ELF\s0 objects symbol sizes are read from the
|
|
\&\s-1ELF,\s0 for other object types the symbol sizes are computed as the
|
|
difference between the value of the symbol and the value of the symbol
|
|
with the next higher value. If the \f(CW\*(C`bsd\*(C'\fR output format is used
|
|
the size of the symbol is printed, rather than the value, and
|
|
\&\fB\-S\fR must be used in order both size and value to be printed.

.Sp
|

Note \- this option does not work if \fB\-\-undefined\-only\fR has been

enabled as undefined symbols have no size.

.IX Item "--special-syms"

Display symbols which have a target-specific special meaning. These
|
|
symbols are usually used by the target for some special processing and
|
|
are not normally helpful when included in the normal symbol lists.
|
|
For example for \s-1ARM\s0 targets this option would skip the mapping symbols
|
|
used to mark transitions between \s-1ARM\s0 code, \s-1THUMB\s0 code and data.

.IP "\fB\-\-synthetic\fR" 4

Controls the display of \s-1UTF\-8\s0 encoded multibyte characters in strings.
|
|
The default (\fB\-\-unicode=default\fR) is to give them no special
|
|
treatment. The \fB\-\-unicode=locale\fR option displays the sequence
|
|
in the current locale, which may or may not support them. The options
|
|
\&\fB\-\-unicode=hex\fR and \fB\-\-unicode=invalid\fR display them as
|
|
hex byte sequences enclosed by either angle brackets or curly braces.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The \fB\-\-unicode=escape\fR option displays them as escape sequences
|
|
(\fI\euxxxx\fR) and the \fB\-\-unicode=highlight\fR option displays
|
|
them as escape sequences highlighted in red (if supported by the
|
|
output device). The colouring is intended to draw attention to the

presence of unicode sequences where they might not be expected.

the default version to be used when resolving unversioned references

literally, and not removed.

.Sp
|
|
Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
|
|
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire

|
option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
|
|
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
|
|
with a backslash. The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
|
|
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
