DESCRIPTION

       objdump  displays  information  about  one or more object files.  The options control what
       particular information to display.  This information is mostly useful to  programmers  who
       are  working  on  the  compilation  tools,  as  opposed to programmers who just want their
       program to compile and work.

       objfile... are the object files to be examined.  When you specify archives, objdump  shows
       information on each of the member object files.

OPTIONS

       The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent.  At least
       one option from the  list  -a,-d,-D,-e,-f,-g,-G,-h,-H,-p,-r,-R,-s,-S,-t,-T,-V,-x  must  be
       given.

       -a
       --archive-header
           If any of the objfile files are archives, display the archive header information (in a
           format similar to ls -l).  Besides the information you could list with ar tv,  objdump
           -a shows the object file format of each archive member.

       --adjust-vma=offset
           When  dumping  information,  first  add  offset to all the section addresses.  This is
           useful if the section addresses do not correspond  to  the  symbol  table,  which  can
           happen when putting sections at particular addresses when using a format which can not
           represent section addresses, such as a.out.

       -b bfdname
       --target=bfdname
           Specify that the object-code format for the object files is bfdname.  This option  may
           not be necessary; objdump can automatically recognize many formats.

           For example,

                   objdump -b oasys -m vax -h fu.o

           displays  summary  information  from  the  section  headers  (-h)  of  fu.o,  which is
           explicitly identified (-m) as a VAX object  file  in  the  format  produced  by  Oasys
           compilers.  You can list the formats available with the -i option.

       -C
       --demangle[=style]
           Decode  (demangle) low-level symbol names into user-level names.  Besides removing any
           initial underscore prepended by the system, this makes C++  function  names  readable.
           Different  compilers  have  different  mangling  styles. The optional demangling style
           argument can be used to choose an appropriate demangling style for your compiler.

       -g
       --debugging
           Display debugging information.  This attempts to parse debugging information stored in
           the  file  and  print  it  out using a C like syntax.  Only certain types of debugging
           information have been implemented.  Some other types are supported by readelf -w.

       -e
       --debugging-tags
           Like -g, but the information is generated in a format compatible with ctags tool.

       -d
       --disassemble
           Display the assembler mnemonics for  the  machine  instructions  from  objfile.   This
           option only disassembles those sections which are expected to contain instructions.

       -D
       --disassemble-all
           Like  -d,  but  disassemble  the  contents of all sections, not just those expected to
           contain instructions.

       --prefix-addresses
           When disassembling, print the complete address  on  each  line.   This  is  the  older
           disassembly format.

       -EB
       -EL
       --endian={big⎪little}
           Specify  the endianness of the object files.  This only affects disassembly.  This can
           be useful when  disassembling  a  file  format  which  does  not  describe  endianness
           information, such as S-records.

       -f
       --file-headers
           Display summary information from the overall header of each of the objfile files.

       --file-start-context
           Specify  that  when displaying interlisted source code/disassembly (assumes -S) from a
           file that has not yet been displayed, extend the context to the start of the file.

       -h
       --section-headers
       --headers
           Display summary information from the section headers of the object file.

           File segments may be relocated to nonstandard addresses,  for  example  by  using  the
           -Ttext,  -Tdata,  or  -Tbss options to ld.  However, some object file formats, such as
           a.out, do not store the starting address of the file segments.  In  those  situations,
           although  ld  relocates  the  sections  correctly,  using  objdump -h to list the file
           section headers cannot show the  correct  addresses.   Instead,  it  shows  the  usual
           addresses, which are implicit for the target.

       -H
       --help
           Print a summary of the options to objdump and exit.

       -i
       --info
           Display   a   list   showing  all  architectures  and  object  formats  available  for
           specification with -b or -m.

       -j name
       --section=name
           Display information only for section name.

       -l
       --line-numbers
           Label the display (using debugging information) with  the  filename  and  source  line
           numbers corresponding to the object code or relocs shown.  Only useful with -d, -D, or
           -r.

       -m machine
       --architecture=machine
           Specify the architecture to use when disassembling object files.  This can  be  useful
           when  disassembling  object files which do not describe architecture information, such
           as S-records.  You can list the available architectures with the -i option.

       -M options
       --disassembler-options=options
           Pass target specific information to the disassembler.  Only supported on some targets.
           If  it  is  necessary  to  specify  more than one disassembler option then multiple -M
           options can be used or can be placed together into a comma separated list.

           If the target is an ARM architecture then this switch can  be  used  to  select  which
           register  name  set  is  used  during  disassembler.   Specifying -M reg-name-std (the
           default)  will  select  the  register  names  as  used  in   ARM's   instruction   set
           documentation,  but with register 13 called 'sp', register 14 called 'lr' and register
           15 called 'pc'.  Specifying -M reg-names-apcs will select the name set used by the ARM
           Procedure  Call  Standard, whilst specifying -M reg-names-raw will just use r followed
           by the register number.

           There are also two variants on the APCS register naming  scheme  enabled  by  -M  reg-
           names-atpcs  and  -M  reg-names-special-atpcs  which  use the ARM/Thumb Procedure Call
           Standard naming conventions.  (Either with the normal register names  or  the  special
           register names).

           This  option  can  also  be  used  for  ARM architectures to force the disassembler to
           interpret   all   instructions   as   Thumb   instructions   by   using   the   switch
           --disassembler-options=force-thumb.  This can be useful when attempting to disassemble
           thumb code produced by other compilers.

           For the x86, some of the options duplicate functions of the -m switch, but allow finer
           grained  control.   Multiple selections from the following may be specified as a comma
           separated  string.   x86-64,  i386  and  i8086  select  disassembly  for   the   given
           architecture.   intel  and  att select between intel syntax mode and AT&T syntax mode.
           addr32, addr16, data32 and data16 specify the default address size and  operand  size.
           These  four  options  will  be overridden if x86-64, i386 or i8086 appear later in the
           option string.  Lastly, suffix, when in AT&T mode, instructs the disassembler to print
           a mnemonic suffix even when the suffix could be inferred by the operands.

           For  PPC, booke, booke32 and booke64 select disassembly of BookE instructions.  32 and
           64 select PowerPC and PowerPC64 disassembly, respectively.

           For MIPS, this option  controls  the  printing  of  instruction  mneumonic  names  and
           register  names  in disassembled instructions.  Multiple selections from the following
           may be specified as a comma separated string, and invalid options are ignored:

           "no-aliases"
               Print  the  'raw'  instruction  mneumonic  instead  of  some  pseudo   instruction
               mneumonic.   I.E. print 'daddu' or 'or' instead of 'move', 'sll' instead of 'nop',
               etc.

           "gpr-names=ABI"
               Print GPR (general-purpose register) names as appropriate for the  specified  ABI.
               By  default,  GPR  names  are  selected  according  to the ABI of the binary being
               disassembled.

           "fpr-names=ABI"
               Print FPR (floating-point register) names as appropriate for  the  specified  ABI.
               By default, FPR numbers are printed rather than names.

           "cp0-names=ARCH"
               Print   CP0   (system  control  coprocessor;  coprocessor  0)  register  names  as
               appropriate for the CPU or  architecture  specified  by  ARCH.   By  default,  CP0
               register  names  are  selected according to the architecture and CPU of the binary
               being disassembled.

           "hwr-names=ARCH"
               Print  HWR  (hardware  register,  used  by  the  "rdhwr"  instruction)  names   as
               appropriate  for the CPU or architecture specified by ARCH.  By default, HWR names
               are  selected  according  to  the  architecture  and  CPU  of  the  binary   being
               disassembled.

           "reg-names=ABI"
               Print GPR and FPR names as appropriate for the selected ABI.

           "reg-names=ARCH"
               Print  CPU-specific register names (CP0 register and HWR names) as appropriate for
               the selected CPU or architecture.

           For any of the options listed above, ABI or ARCH may be specified as numeric  to  have
           numbers  printed rather than names, for the selected types of registers.  You can list
           the available values of ABI and ARCH using the --help option.

       -p
       --private-headers
           Print information that is specific to the object file format.  The  exact  information
           printed  depends  upon  the  object  file  format.   For  some object file formats, no
           additional information is printed.

       -r
       --reloc
           Print the relocation entries of the file.  If used with -d or -D, the relocations  are
           printed interspersed with the disassembly.

       -R
       --dynamic-reloc
           Print the dynamic relocation entries of the file.  This is only meaningful for dynamic
           objects, such as certain types of shared libraries.

       -s
       --full-contents
           Display the full contents  of  any  sections  requested.   By  default  all  non-empty
           sections are displayed.

       -S
       --source
           Display source code intermixed with disassembly, if possible.  Implies -d.

       --show-raw-insn
           When  disassembling  instructions, print the instruction in hex as well as in symbolic
           form.  This is the default except when --prefix-addresses is used.

       --no-show-raw-insn
           When disassembling instructions, do not print the  instruction  bytes.   This  is  the
           default when --prefix-addresses is used.

       -G
       --stabs
           Display  the  full  contents  of  any sections requested.  Display the contents of the
           .stab and .stab.index and .stab.excl sections from an ELF file.  This is  only  useful
           on  systems  (such as Solaris 2.0) in which ".stab" debugging symbol-table entries are
           carried in an ELF section.  In most other file formats, debugging symbol-table entries
           are interleaved with linkage symbols, and are visible in the --syms output.

       --start-address=address
           Start displaying data at the specified address.  This affects the output of the -d, -r
           and -s options.

       --stop-address=address
           Stop displaying data at the specified address.  This affects the output of the -d,  -r
           and -s options.

       -t
       --syms
           Print  the  symbol  table  entries  of  the  file.  This is similar to the information
           provided by the nm program.

       -T
       --dynamic-syms
           Print the dynamic symbol table entries of the  file.   This  is  only  meaningful  for
           dynamic  objects,  such  as certain types of shared libraries.  This is similar to the
           information provided by the nm program when given the -D (--dynamic) option.

       --special-syms
           When displaying symbols include those which the target considers to be special in some
           way and which would not normally be of interest to the user.

       -V
       --version
           Print the version number of objdump and exit.

       -x
       --all-headers
           Display  all  available  header information, including the symbol table and relocation
           entries.  Using -x is equivalent to specifying all of -a -f -h -p -r -t.

       -w
       --wide
           Format some lines for output devices that have more than  80  columns.   Also  do  not
           truncate symbol names when they are displayed.

       -z
       --disassemble-zeroes
           Normally  the  disassembly output will skip blocks of zeroes.  This option directs the
           disassembler to disassemble those blocks, just like any other data.
