     -t   Dumps symbol table entries.

     -t index
          Dumps only the indexed symbol table entry.  When the -t
          option is used in conjunction with the +t option, it
          specifies a range of symbol table entries.

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

     -u   Underlines the name of the file for emphasis.

     -v   Dumps information in symbolic representation rather
          than numeric (for example, C_STATIC instead of 0X02).
          This modifier can be used with all the preceding
          options except the -s and -o options.

     -z name
          Dumps line number entries for the named function.

     -z name, number
          Dumps line number entry or range of line numbers
          starting at number for the named function.

     +z name
          Dumps line numbers starting at either function name or
          number specified by the -z option up to number
          specified by this option.

DESCRIPTION
     dump stores (or saves) selected parts of each of its object
     file arguments.

     This command accepts both object files and archives of
     object files.  It processes each file argument according to
     one or more of the options.

     Blanks separating an option and its modifier are optional.
     The comma separating the name from the number modifying the
     -z option may be replaced by a blank.

     The dump command attempts to format the information it dumps
     in a meaningful way, printing certain information in
     character, hex, octal, or decimal representation, as
     appropriate.
