NAME

odump − dumps selected parts of an object file

SYNOPSIS

odump [ −acfghilorstzFGPRL ] file1 ... fileN

DESCRIPTION

The odump command dumps selected parts of each object file.

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 RISC NEWS 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. 

−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. 

The odump command accepts these modifiers with the options:

−dnumber
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. 

+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.
