GNU nm implementation

List symbols from object files

Description

GNU nm lists the symbols from object files objfile....
If no object files are listed as arguments, nm assumes the file a.out.
For each symbol, nm shows:

• The symbol value, in the radix selected by options, or hexadecimal by default.
• The symbol type. If lowercase, the symbol is local; if uppercase, the symbol is global (external).
• The symbol name.

Supported format

Architecture

• 64-bit
• 32-bit
• Little endian
• Big endian

File

• Linux executables
• Object files (.o)
• Shared objects (.so)

Options

Implemented options:

• -g | Display only external symbols.
• -p | Do not bother to sort the symbols in any order; print them in the order encountered.
• -u | Display only undefined symbols (those external to each object file).
• -r | Reverse the order of the sort (whether numeric or alphabetic); let the last come first.

Make

Given Makefile contains all standard rules

• all
• clean
• fclean
• re
