.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBobjdump\fR displays information about one or more object files.
The options control what particular information to display.  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.
.PP
\&\fIobjfile\fR... are the object files to be examined.  When you
specify archives, \fBobjdump\fR shows information on each of the member
object files.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
equivalent.  At least one option from the list
\&\fB\-a,\-d,\-D,\-e,\-f,\-g,\-G,\-h,\-H,\-p,\-P,\-r,\-R,\-s,\-S,\-t,\-T,\-V,\-x\fR must be given.
.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 4
.IX Item "-a"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-archive\-header\fR" 4
.IX Item "--archive-header"
.PD
If any of the \fIobjfile\fR files are archives, display the archive
header information (in a format similar to \fBls \-l\fR).  Besides the
information you could list with \fBar tv\fR, \fBobjdump \-a\fR shows
the object file format of each archive member.
.IP "\fB\-\-adjust\-vma=\fR\fIoffset\fR" 4
.IX Item "--adjust-vma=offset"
When dumping information, first add \fIoffset\fR to all the section
addresses.  This is useful if the section addresses do not correspond to
the symbol table, which can happen when putting sections at particular
addresses when using a format which can not represent section addresses,
such as a.out.
.IP "\fB\-b\fR \fIbfdname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-b bfdname"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-target=\fR\fIbfdname\fR" 4
.IX Item "--target=bfdname"
.PD
Specify that the object-code format for the object files is
\&\fIbfdname\fR.  This option may not be necessary; \fIobjdump\fR can
automatically recognize many formats.
.Sp
For example,
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&        objdump \-b oasys \-m vax \-h fu.o
.Ve
.Sp
displays summary information from the section headers (\fB\-h\fR) of
\&\fIfu.o\fR, which is explicitly identified (\fB\-m\fR) as a \s-1VAX\s0 object
file in the format produced by Oasys compilers.  You can list the
formats available with the \fB\-i\fR option.
.IP "\fB\-C\fR" 4
.IX Item "-C"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-demangle[=\fR\fIstyle\fR\fB]\fR" 4
.IX Item "--demangle[=style]"
.PD
Decode (\fIdemangle\fR) low-level symbol names into user-level names.
Besides removing any initial underscore prepended by the system, this
makes \*(C+ function names readable.  Different compilers have different
mangling styles. The optional demangling style argument can be used to
choose an appropriate demangling style for your compiler.
.IP "\fB\-\-recurse\-limit\fR" 4
.IX Item "--recurse-limit"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-recurse\-limit\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-recurse-limit"
.IP "\fB\-\-recursion\-limit\fR" 4
.IX Item "--recursion-limit"
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-recursion\-limit\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-recursion-limit"
.PD
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.
.IP "\fB\-g\fR" 4
.IX Item "-g"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-debugging\fR" 4
.IX Item "--debugging"
.PD
Display debugging information.  This attempts to parse \s-1STABS\s0
debugging format information stored in the file and print it out using
a C like syntax.  If no \s-1STABS\s0 debugging was found this option
falls back on the \fB\-W\fR option to print any \s-1DWARF\s0 information in
the file.
.IP "\fB\-e\fR" 4
.IX Item "-e"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-debugging\-tags\fR" 4
.IX Item "--debugging-tags"
.PD
Like \fB\-g\fR, but the information is generated in a format compatible
with ctags tool.
.IP "\fB\-d\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-disassemble\fR" 4
.IX Item "--disassemble"
.IP "\fB\-\-disassemble=\fR\fIsymbol\fR" 4
.IX Item "--disassemble=symbol"
.PD
Display the assembler mnemonics for the machine instructions from the
input file.  This option only disassembles those sections which are 
expected to contain instructions.  If the optional \fIsymbol\fR
argument is given, then display the assembler mnemonics starting at
\&\fIsymbol\fR.  If \fIsymbol\fR is a function name then disassembly
will stop at the end of the function, otherwise it will stop when the
next symbol is encountered.  If there are no matches for \fIsymbol\fR
then nothing will be displayed.
.Sp
Note if the \fB\-\-dwarf=follow\-links\fR option is enabled
then any symbol tables in linked debug info files will be read in and
used when disassembling.
.IP "\fB\-D\fR" 4
.IX Item "-D"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-disassemble\-all\fR" 4
.IX Item "--disassemble-all"
.PD
Like \fB\-d\fR, but disassemble the contents of all sections, not just
those expected to contain instructions.
.Sp
This option also has a subtle effect on the disassembly of
instructions in code sections.  When option \fB\-d\fR is in effect
objdump will assume that any symbols present in a code section occur
on the boundary between instructions and it will refuse to disassemble
across such a boundary.  When option \fB\-D\fR is in effect however
this assumption is supressed.  This means that it is possible for the
output of \fB\-d\fR and \fB\-D\fR to differ if, for example, data
is stored in code sections.
.Sp
If the target is an \s-1ARM\s0 architecture this switch also has the effect
of forcing the disassembler to decode pieces of data found in code
sections as if they were instructions.
.Sp
Note if the \fB\-\-dwarf=follow\-links\fR option is enabled
then any symbol tables in linked debug info files will be read in and
used when disassembling.
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-addresses\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-addresses"
When disassembling, don't print addresses on each line or for symbols
and relocation offsets.  In combination with \fB\-\-no\-show\-raw\-insn\fR
this may be useful for comparing compiler output.
.IP "\fB\-\-prefix\-addresses\fR" 4
.IX Item "--prefix-addresses"
When disassembling, print the complete address on each line.  This is
the older disassembly format.
.IP "\fB\-EB\fR" 4
.IX Item "-EB"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-EL\fR" 4
.IX Item "-EL"
.IP "\fB\-\-endian={big|little}\fR" 4
.IX Item "--endian={big|little}"
.PD
Specify the endianness of the object files.  This only affects
disassembly.  This can be useful when disassembling a file format which
does not describe endianness information, such as S\-records.
.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-file\-headers\fR" 4
.IX Item "--file-headers"
.PD
Display summary information from the overall header of
each of the \fIobjfile\fR files.
.IP "\fB\-F\fR" 4
.IX Item "-F"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-file\-offsets\fR" 4
.IX Item "--file-offsets"
.PD
When disassembling sections, whenever a symbol is displayed, also
display the file offset of the region of data that is about to be
dumped.  If zeroes are being skipped, then when disassembly resumes,
tell the user how many zeroes were skipped and the file offset of the
location from where the disassembly resumes.  When dumping sections,
display the file offset of the location from where the dump starts.
.IP "\fB\-\-file\-start\-context\fR" 4
.IX Item "--file-start-context"
Specify that when displaying interlisted source code/disassembly
(assumes \fB\-S\fR) from a file that has not yet been displayed, extend the
context to the start of the file.
.IP "\fB\-h\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-section\-headers\fR" 4
.IX Item "--section-headers"
.IP "\fB\-\-headers\fR" 4
.IX Item "--headers"
.PD
Display summary information from the section headers of the
object file.
.Sp
File segments may be relocated to nonstandard addresses, for example by
using the \fB\-Ttext\fR, \fB\-Tdata\fR, or \fB\-Tbss\fR options to
\&\fBld\fR.  However, some object file formats, such as a.out, do not
store the starting address of the file segments.  In those situations,
although \fBld\fR relocates the sections correctly, using \fBobjdump
\&\-h\fR to list the file section headers cannot show the correct addresses.
Instead, it shows the usual addresses, which are implicit for the
target.
.Sp
Note, in some cases it is possible for a section to have both the
\&\s-1READONLY\s0 and the \s-1NOREAD\s0 attributes set.  In such cases the \s-1NOREAD\s0
attribute takes precedence, but \fBobjdump\fR will report both
since the exact setting of the flag bits might be important.
.IP "\fB\-H\fR" 4
.IX Item "-H"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
.PD
Print a summary of the options to \fBobjdump\fR and exit.
.IP "\fB\-i\fR" 4
.IX Item "-i"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-info\fR" 4
.IX Item "--info"
.PD
Display a list showing all architectures and object formats available
for specification with \fB\-b\fR or \fB\-m\fR.
.IP "\fB\-j\fR \fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-j name"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-section=\fR\fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "--section=name"
.PD
Display information only for section \fIname\fR.
.IP "\fB\-L\fR" 4
.IX Item "-L"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-process\-links\fR" 4
.IX Item "--process-links"
.PD
Display the contents of non-debug sections found in separate debuginfo
files that are linked to the main file.  This option automatically
implies the \fB\-WK\fR option, and only sections requested by other
command line options will be displayed.
.IP "\fB\-l\fR" 4
.IX Item "-l"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-line\-numbers\fR" 4
.IX Item "--line-numbers"
.PD
Label the display (using debugging information) with the filename and
source line numbers corresponding to the object code or relocs shown.
Only useful with \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-D\fR, or \fB\-r\fR.
.IP "\fB\-m\fR \fImachine\fR" 4
.IX Item "-m machine"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-architecture=\fR\fImachine\fR" 4
.IX Item "--architecture=machine"
.PD
Specify the architecture to use when disassembling object files.  This
can be useful when disassembling object files which do not describe
architecture information, such as S\-records.  You can list the available
architectures with the \fB\-i\fR option.
.Sp
If the target is an \s-1ARM\s0 architecture then this switch has an
additional effect.  It restricts the disassembly to only those
instructions supported by the architecture specified by \fImachine\fR.
If it is necessary to use this switch because the input file does not
contain any architecture information, but it is also desired to
disassemble all the instructions use \fB\-marm\fR.
.IP "\fB\-M\fR \fIoptions\fR" 4
.IX Item "-M options"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-disassembler\-options=\fR\fIoptions\fR" 4
.IX Item "--disassembler-options=options"
.PD
Pass target specific information to the disassembler.  Only supported on
some targets.  If it is necessary to specify more than one
disassembler option then multiple \fB\-M\fR options can be used or
can be placed together into a comma separated list.
.Sp
For \s-1ARC,\s0 \fBdsp\fR controls the printing of \s-1DSP\s0 instructions,
\&\fBspfp\fR selects the printing of \s-1FPX\s0 single precision \s-1FP\s0
instructions, \fBdpfp\fR selects the printing of \s-1FPX\s0 double
precision \s-1FP\s0 instructions, \fBquarkse_em\fR selects the printing of
special QuarkSE-EM instructions, \fBfpuda\fR selects the printing
of double precision assist instructions, \fBfpus\fR selects the
printing of \s-1FPU\s0 single precision \s-1FP\s0 instructions, while \fBfpud\fR
selects the printing of \s-1FPU\s0 double precision \s-1FP\s0 instructions.
Additionally, one can choose to have all the immediates printed in
hexadecimal using \fBhex\fR.  By default, the short immediates are
printed using the decimal representation, while the long immediate
values are printed as hexadecimal.
.Sp
\&\fBcpu=...\fR allows one to enforce a particular \s-1ISA\s0 when disassembling
instructions, overriding the \fB\-m\fR value or whatever is in the \s-1ELF\s0 file.
This might be useful to select \s-1ARC EM\s0 or \s-1HS ISA,\s0 because architecture is same
for those and disassembler relies on private \s-1ELF\s0 header data to decide if code
is for \s-1EM\s0 or \s-1HS.\s0  This option might be specified multiple times \- only the
latest value will be used.  Valid values are same as for the assembler
\&\fB\-mcpu=...\fR option.
.Sp
If the target is an \s-1ARM\s0 architecture then this switch can be used to
select which register name set is used during disassembler.  Specifying
\&\fB\-M reg-names-std\fR (the default) will select the register names as
used in \s-1ARM\s0's instruction set documentation, but with register 13 called
\&'sp', register 14 called 'lr' and register 15 called 'pc'.  Specifying
\&\fB\-M reg-names-apcs\fR will select the name set used by the \s-1ARM\s0
Procedure Call Standard, whilst specifying \fB\-M reg-names-raw\fR will
just use \fBr\fR followed by the register number.
.Sp
There are also two variants on the \s-1APCS\s0 register naming scheme enabled
by \fB\-M reg-names-atpcs\fR and \fB\-M reg-names-special-atpcs\fR which
use the ARM/Thumb Procedure Call Standard naming conventions.  (Either
with the normal register names or the special register names).
.Sp
This option can also be used for \s-1ARM\s0 architectures to force the
disassembler to interpret all instructions as Thumb instructions by
using the switch \fB\-\-disassembler\-options=force\-thumb\fR.  This can be
useful when attempting to disassemble thumb code produced by other
compilers.
.Sp
For AArch64 targets this switch can be used to set whether instructions are
disassembled as the most general instruction using the \fB\-M no-aliases\fR
option or whether instruction notes should be generated as comments in the
disasssembly using \fB\-M notes\fR.
.Sp
For the x86, some of the options duplicate functions of the \fB\-m\fR
switch, but allow finer grained control.

.IX Item "--dwarf-depth=n"
Limit the dump of the \f(CW\*(C`.debug_info\*(C'\fR section to \fIn\fR children.
This is only useful with \fB\-\-debug\-dump=info\fR.  The default is
to print all DIEs; the special value 0 for \fIn\fR will also have this
effect.
.Sp
With a non-zero value for \fIn\fR, DIEs at or deeper than \fIn\fR
levels will not be printed.  The range for \fIn\fR is zero-based.
.IP "\fB\-\-dwarf\-start=\fR\fIn\fR" 4

Print only DIEs beginning with the \s-1DIE\s0 numbered \fIn\fR.  This is only
useful with \fB\-\-debug\-dump=info\fR.
.Sp
If specified, this option will suppress printing of any header
information and all DIEs before the \s-1DIE\s0 numbered \fIn\fR.  Only
siblings and children of the specified \s-1DIE\s0 will be printed.

This can be used in conjunction with \fB\-\-dwarf\-depth\fR.

If the \s-1CTF\s0 section contains ambiguously-defined types, it will consist
of an archive of many \s-1CTF\s0 dictionaries, all inheriting from one
dictionary containing unambiguous types.  This member is by default
named \fI.ctf\fR, like the section containing it, but it is possible to
change this name using the \f(CW\*(C`ctf_link_set_memb_name_changer\*(C'\fR
function at link time.  When looking at \s-1CTF\s0 archives that have been
created by a linker that uses the name changer to rename the parent
archive member, \fB\-\-ctf\-parent\fR can be used to specify the name
used for the parent.

Display the full contents of any sections requested.  Display the

\&\f(CW\*(C`.stab\*(C'\fR debugging symbol-table entries are carried in an \s-1ELF\s0
section.  In most other file formats, debugging symbol-table entries are
interleaved with linkage symbols, and are visible in the \fB\-\-syms\fR

.IP "\fB\-\-syms\fR" 4
.IX Item "--syms"
.PD
Print the symbol table entries of the file.
This is similar to the information provided by the \fBnm\fR 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:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&        [  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
.Ve
.Sp
where the number inside the square brackets is the number of the entry
in the symbol table, the \fIsec\fR number is the section number, the
\&\fIfl\fR value are the symbol's flag bits, the \fIty\fR number is the
symbol's type, the \fIscl\fR number is the symbol's storage class and
the \fInx\fR value is the number of auxiliary entries associated with
the symbol.  The last two fields are the symbol's value and its name.
.Sp
The other common output format, usually seen with \s-1ELF\s0 based files,
looks like this:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&        00000000 l    d  .bss   00000000 .bss
\&        00000000 g       .text  00000000 fred
.Ve
.Sp
Here the first number is the symbol's value (sometimes referred 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.  Next is the section with which the
symbol is associated or \fI*ABS*\fR if the section is absolute (ie
not connected with any section), or \fI*UND*\fR if the section is
referenced in the file being dumped, but not defined there.
.Sp
After the section name comes another field, a number, which for common
symbols is the alignment and for other symbol is the size.  Finally
the symbol's name is displayed.
.Sp
The flag characters are divided into 7 groups as follows:

.PD
The symbol is a local (l), global (g), unique global (u), neither
global nor local (a space) or both global and local (!).  A
symbol can be neither local or global for a variety of reasons, e.g.,
because it is used for debugging, but it is probably an indication of
a bug if it is ever both local and global.  Unique global symbols are
a \s-1GNU\s0 extension to the standard set of \s-1ELF\s0 symbol bindings.  For such
a symbol the dynamic linker will make sure that in the entire process
there is just one symbol with this name and type in use.
.ie n .IP """w""" 4

Print the dynamic symbol table entries of the file.  This is only
meaningful for dynamic objects, such as certain types of shared

program when given the \fB\-D\fR (\fB\-\-dynamic\fR) option.
.Sp
The output format is similar to that produced by the \fB\-\-syms\fR
option, except that an extra field is inserted before the symbol's
name, giving the version information associated with the symbol.
If the version is the default version to be used when resolving
unversioned references to the symbol then it's displayed as is,
otherwise it's put into parentheses.

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.

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.
