SYNOPSIS
odump [-acfghilorstzFGPRLVDDsDiDcDlDrDtDgDh] file1 ... fileN
DESCRIPTION
The odump command dumps selected parts of each object file. It works on

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.

-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.

the number you specify with +d.
+dnumber Dumps sections in the range beginning with the first
section or beginning with the section you specify with
-d.
-nname Dumps information only about the specified name. This
modifier works with -h, -s, -r, -l, and -t.
-p Does not print headers
-tindex 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.
+tindex 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 use -v
with all the options except -s
-zname,number
Dumps the specified line number entry or a range of line
numbers. The range starts at the number for the named
function.
+znumber 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.
