llvm-nm - list LLVM bitcode and object file's symbol table
|
|
==========================================================

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
:program:`llvm-nm` [*options*] [*filenames...*]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The :program:`llvm-nm` utility lists the names of symbols from the LLVM bitcode
|
|
files, object files, or :program:`ar` archives containing them, named on the
|
|
command line. Each symbol is listed along with some simple information about
|
|
its provenance. If no filename is specified, *a.out* is used as the input.
|
|
If *-* is used as a filename, :program:`llvm-nm` will read a file from its
|
|
standard input stream.
|
|
|
|
:program:`llvm-nm`'s default output format is the traditional BSD :program:`nm`
|
|
output format. Each such output record consists of an (optional) 8-digit
|
|
hexadecimal address, followed by a type code character, followed by a name, for
|
|
each symbol. One record is printed per line; fields are separated by spaces.
|
|
When the address is omitted, it is replaced by 8 spaces.
|
|
|
|
Type code characters currently supported, and their meanings, are as follows.
|
|
Where both lower and upper-case characters are listed for the same meaning, a
|
|
lower-case character represents a local symbol, whilst an upper-case character
|
|
represents a global (external) symbol:
|
|
|
|
|
|
a, A
|
|
|
|
Absolute symbol.
|
|
|
|
b, B
|
|
|
|
Unitialized data (bss) object.
|
|
|
|
C
|
|
|
|
Common symbol. Multiple definitions link together into one definition.
|
|
|
|
d, D
|
|
|
|
Writable data object.
|
|
|
|
i, I
|
|
|
|
COFF: .idata symbol or symbol in a section with IMAGE_SCN_LNK_INFO set.
|
|
|
|
n
|
|
|
|
ELF: local symbol from non-alloc section.
|
|
|
|
COFF: debug symbol.
|
|
|
|
N
|
|
|
|
ELF: debug section symbol, or global symbol from non-alloc section.
|
|
|
|
s, S
|
|
|
|
COFF: section symbol.
|
|
|
|
Mach-O: absolute symbol or symbol from a section other than __TEXT_EXEC __text,
|
|
__TEXT __text, __DATA __data, or __DATA __bss.
|
|
|
|
r, R
|
|
|
|
Read-only data object.
|
|
|
|
t, T
|
|
|
|
Code (text) object.
|
|
|
|
u
|
|
|
|
ELF: GNU unique symbol.
|
|
|
|
U
|
|
|
|
Named object is undefined in this file.
|
|
|
|
v
|
|
|
|
ELF: Undefined weak object. It is not a link failure if the object is not
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
V
|
|
|
|
ELF: Defined weak object symbol. This definition will only be used if no
|
|
regular definitions exist in a link. If multiple weak definitions and no
|
|
regular definitons exist, one of the weak definitions will be used.
|
|
|
|
w
|
|
|
|
Undefined weak symbol other than an ELF object symbol. It is not a link failure
|
|
if the symbol is not defined.
|
|
|
|
W
|
|
|
|
Defined weak symbol other than an ELF object symbol. This definition will only
|
|
be used if no regular definitions exist in a link. If multiple weak definitions
|
|
and no regular definitons exist, one of the weak definitions will be used.
|
|
|
|
\-
|
|
|
|
Mach-O: N_STAB symbol.
|
|
|
|
?
|
|
|
|
Something unrecognizable.
|
|
|
|
Because LLVM bitcode files typically contain objects that are not considered to
|
|
have addresses until they are linked into an executable image or dynamically
|
|
compiled "just-in-time", :program:`llvm-nm` does not print an address for any
|
|
symbol in an LLVM bitcode file, even symbols which are defined in the bitcode
|
|
file.
