ODUMP(1)ODUMP(1)


NAME
     odump - Dumps selected parts of an object file

SYNOPSIS
     odump [options] file1 ...  fileN

DESCRIPTION
     The odump command dumps selected parts of each object file.  It works
     on object files in either COFF or ELF formats.  But users are
     recommended to use elfdump(1) for ELF objects because it is better
     supported.

     This command works for object files and archives of object files.  It
     accepts one or more of these options:

     -a          Dumps the archive header for each member of the specified
                 archive file.

     -c          Dumps the string table.

     -f          Dumps each file header.

     -g          Dumps the global symbols from the symbol table of a MIPS
                 archive.

     -h          Dumps section headers.

     -i          Dumps the symbolic information header.

     -l          Dumps line number information.

     -o          Dumps each optional header.

     -s          Dumps section contents.

     -r          Dumps relocation information.

     -t          Dumps symbol table entries.

     -zname      Dumps line number entries for the specified function name.

     -D          Dumps contents of .dynamic section.

     -Ds         Dumps contents of .dynstr section.

     -Di         Dumps contents of .reginfo section.

     -Dc         Dumps contents of .conflict section.

     -Dl         Dumps contents of .liblist section.

     -Dr         Dumps contents of .rel.dyn section.

     -Dt         Dumps contents of .dynsym section.

     -Dg         Dumps contents of .got section.

     -Dh         Dumps contents of .hash section.

     -dc         Dumps delta C++ class definitions.

     -di         Dumps delta C++ class instances.

     -ds         Dumps delta C++ delta symbols.

     -L          Interpret and print the contents of the .lib sections.

     -F          Dumps the file descriptor table.

     -G          Dumps the -G n histogram table.

     -P          Dumps the procedure descriptor table.

     -R          Dumps the relative file index table.

     -V          Dumps the version information.

     The odump command accepts these modifiers with the following options:

     -d number   Dumps the section number or a range of sections starting
                 at number and ending either at the last section number or
                 the number you specify with +d.

     +d number   Dumps sections in the range beginning with the first
                 section or beginning with the section you specify with -d.

     -n name     Dumps information only about the specified name.  This
                 modifier works with -h, -s, -r, -l, and -t.

     -p          Does not print headers.

     -t index    Dumps only the indexed symbol table entry.  You can also
                 specify a range of symbol table entries by using the
                 modifier -t with the +t option.

     +t index    Dumps the symbol table entries in the specified range.
                 The range begins at the first symbol table entry or at the
                 entry specified by -t.  The range ends with the specified
                 indexed entry.

     -u          Underlines the name of the file for emphasis.

     -v          Dumps information symbolically rather than numerically
                 (for example, Static rather than 0X02).  You can specify
                 -v with all the options except -s.

     -z name,number
                 Dumps the specified line number entry or a range of line
                 numbers.  The range starts at the number for the named
                 function.

     +z number   Dumps line numbers for a specified range.  The range
                 starts at either the name or number specified by -z.  The
                 range ends with the number specified by +z.

     Optionally, an option and its modifier can be separated by using
     blanks.  The name can be separated from the number that modifies -z by
     replacing the comma with a blank.

     The odump command tries to format information in a helpful way,
     printing information in character, hexadecimal, octal, or decimal, as
     appropriate.
