NAME
llvm-readobj - LLVM Object Reader
SYNOPSIS
llvm-readobj [options] [input...]
DESCRIPTION
The llvm-readobj tool displays low-level format-specific information about one or more object files.
If input is "-", llvm-readobj reads from standard input. Otherwise, it will read from the specified
filenames.
DIFFERENCES TO LLVM-READELF
llvm-readelf is an alias for the llvm-readobj tool with a slightly different command-line interface and
output that is GNU compatible. Following is a list of differences between llvm-readelf and llvm-readobj:
• llvm-readelf uses GNU for the --elf-output-style option by default. llvm-readobj uses LLVM.
• llvm-readelf allows single-letter grouped flags (e.g. llvm-readelf -SW is the same as llvm-readelf -S
-W). llvm-readobj does not allow grouping.
• llvm-readelf provides -s as an alias for --symbols, for GNU readelf compatibility, whereas it is an
alias for --section-headers in llvm-readobj.
• llvm-readobj provides -t as an alias for --symbols. llvm-readelf does not.
• llvm-readobj provides --sr, --sd, --st and --dt as aliases for --section-relocations, --section-data,
--section-symbols and --dyn-symbols respectively. llvm-readelf does not provide these aliases, to
avoid conflicting with grouped flags.
GENERAL AND MULTI-FORMAT OPTIONS
These options are applicable to more than one file format, or are unrelated to file formats.
--all Equivalent to specifying all the main display options relevant to the file format.
--addrsig
Display the address-significance table.
--decompress, -z
Dump decompressed section content when used with -x or -p. If the section(s) are not compressed,
they are displayed as is.
--demangle, -C
Display demangled symbol names in the output. This option is only for ELF and XCOFF file formats.
--expand-relocs
When used with --relocs, display each relocation in an expanded multi-line format.
--file-header, -h
Display file headers.
--headers, -e
Equivalent to setting: --file-header, --program-headers, and --sections.
--help Display a summary of command line options.
--hex-dump=<section[,section,...]>, -x
Display the specified section(s) as hexadecimal bytes. section may be a section index or section
name.
--memtag
Display information about memory tagging present in the binary. This includes various
memtag-specific dynamic entries, decoded global descriptor sections, and decoded Android-specific
ELF notes.
--needed-libs
Display the needed libraries.
--no-demangle
Do not demangle symbol names in the output. This option is only for ELF and XCOFF file formats.
The option is enabled by default.
--relocations, --relocs, -r
Display the relocation entries in the file.
--sections, --section-headers, -S
Display all sections.
--section-data, --sd
When used with --sections, display section data for each section shown. This option has no effect
for GNU style output.
--section-relocations, --sr
When used with --sections, display relocations for each section shown. This option has no effect
for GNU style output.
--section-symbols, --st
When used with --sections, display symbols for each section shown. This option has no effect for
GNU style output.
--sort-symbols=<sort_key[,sort_key]>
Specify the keys to sort symbols before displaying symtab. Valid values for sort_key are name and
type.
--stackmap
Display contents of the stackmap section.
--string-dump=<section[,section,...]>, -p
Display the specified section(s) as a list of strings. section may be a section index or section
name.
--string-table
Display contents of the string table.
--symbols, --syms, -s
Display the symbol table.
--unwind, -u
Display unwind information.
--version
Display the version of the llvm-readobj executable.
@<FILE>
Read command-line options from response file <FILE>.
ELF SPECIFIC OPTIONS
The following options are implemented only for the ELF file format.
--arch-specific, -A
Display architecture-specific information, e.g. the ARM attributes section on ARM.
--bb-addr-map
Display the contents of the basic block address map section(s), which contain the address of each
function, along with the relative offset of each basic block.
When pgo analysis maps are present, all analyses are printed as their raw value.
--pretty-pgo-analysis-map
When pgo analysis maps are present in the basic block address map section(s), analyses with
special formats (i.e. BlockFrequency, BranchProbability, etc) are printed using the same format as
their respective analysis pass.
Requires --bb-addr-map to have an effect.
--dependent-libraries
Display the dependent libraries section.
--dyn-relocations
Display the dynamic relocation entries.
--dyn-symbols, --dyn-syms, --dt
Display the dynamic symbol table.
--dynamic-table, --dynamic, -d
Display the dynamic table.
--cg-profile
Display the callgraph profile section.
--histogram, -I
Display a bucket list histogram for dynamic symbol hash tables.
--elf-linker-options
Display the linker options section.
--elf-output-style=<value>
Format ELF information in the specified style. Valid options are LLVM, GNU, and JSON. LLVM output
(the default) is an expanded and structured format. GNU output mimics the equivalent GNU readelf
output. JSON is JSON formatted output intended for machine consumption.
--section-groups, -g
Display section groups.
--gnu-hash-table
Display the GNU hash table for dynamic symbols.
--hash-symbols
Display the expanded hash table with dynamic symbol data.
--hash-table
Display the hash table for dynamic symbols.
--memtag
Display information about memory tagging present in the binary. This includes various dynamic
entries, decoded global descriptor sections, and decoded Android-specific ELF notes.
--notes, -n
Display all notes.
--pretty-print
When used with --elf-output-style, JSON output will be formatted in a more readable format.
--program-headers, --segments, -l
Display the program headers.
--section-mapping
Display the section to segment mapping.
--stack-sizes
Display the contents of the stack sizes section(s), i.e. pairs of function names and the size of
their stack frames. Currently only implemented for GNU style output.
--version-info, -V
Display version sections.
MACH-O SPECIFIC OPTIONS
The following options are implemented only for the Mach-O file format.
--macho-data-in-code
Display the Data in Code command.
--macho-dsymtab
Display the Dsymtab command.
