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 sec-
tion 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 speci-
fied 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, hexade-
cimal, octal, or decimal, as appropriate.
