User Commands                                             dump(1)



NAME
     dump - dump selected parts of an object file

SYNOPSIS
     dump  [-aCcfghLorstV  [-p]]  [   -T index   [   ,   indexn]]
     filename...

     dump [ -afhorstL [-p] [v]] filename...

     dump [ -hsr [-p] [ -d number [ , numbern]]] filename...

     dump [ -hsrt [-p] [-n name]] filename...

DESCRIPTION
     The dump utility dumps selected parts of each of its  object
     file arguments.

     The dump utility is best suited for use  in  shell  scripts,
     whereas  the  elfdump(1)  command  is  recommended  for more
     human-readable output.

OPTIONS
     This utility will accept both object files and  archives  of
     object  files.  It processes each file argument according to
     one or more of the following options:

     -a                      Dumps the  archive  header  of  each
                             member of an archive.



     -c                      Dumps the string table(s).



     -C                      Dumps  decoded  C++   symbol   table
                             names.



     -f                      Dumps each file header.



     -g                      Dumps the global symbols in the sym-
                             bol table of an archive.



     -h                      Dumps the section headers.

User Commands                                             dump(1)



     -L                      Dumps  dynamic  linking  information
                             and  static  shared library informa-
                             tion, if available.



     -o                      Dumps each program execution header.



     -r                      Dumps relocation information.



     -s                      Dumps section  contents  in  hexade-
                             cimal.



     -t                      Dumps symbol table entries.



     -T index                Dumps only the indexed symbol  table
     -T index1,index2        entry defined by index or a range of
                             entries defined by index1,index2.




     -V                      Prints version information.



     The following modifiers are used  in  conjunction  with  the
     options listed above to modify their capabilities.

     -d number               Dumps the section  number  indicated
     -d number1,number2      by  number  or the range of sections
                             starting at number1  and  ending  at
                             number2.  This  modifier can be used
                             with -h, -s, and -r. When -d is used
                             with  -h  or  -s,  the  argument  is
                             treated as the number of  a  section
                             or  range  of  sections.  When -d is
                             used  with  -r,  the   argument   is
                             treated as the number of the section
                             or range of sections  to  which  the
                             relocation  applies. For example, to
                             print  out  all  relocation  entries
                             associated  with  the .text section,
                             specify the number of the section as

                             the argument to -d. If .text is sec-
                             tion number 2 in the file,  dump  -r
                             -d   2  will  print  all  associated
                             entries. To  print  out  a  specific
                             relocation  section,  use dump -s -n
                             name for raw data  output,  or  dump
                             -sv -n name for interpreted output.




     -n name                 Dumps information pertaining only to
                             the  named entity. This modifier can
                             be used with -h, -s,  -r,  and   -t.
                             When  -n  is used with -h or -s, the
                             argument will be treated as the name
                             of  a  section. When -n is used with
                             -t  or  -r,  the  argument  will  be
                             treated as the name of a symbol. For
                             example, dump -t -n .text will  dump
                             the  symbol  table  entry associated
                             with the symbol whose name is .text,
                             where  dump  -h  -n  .text will dump
                             the section header  information  for
                             the .text section.



     -p                      Suppresses printing of the headings.



     -v                      Dumps   information   in    symbolic
                             representation  rather than numeric.
                             This modifier can be used with

                             -a       (date, user id, group id)




                             -f       (class,     data,     type,
                                      machine, version, flags)



                             -h       (type, flags)



                             -L       (value)

User Commands                                             dump(1)



                             -o       (type, flags)



                             -r       (name, type)



                             -s       (interpret section contents
                                      wherever possible)



                             -t       (type, bind)




                             When -v is used with  -s,  all  sec-
                             tions  that can be interpreted, such
                             as the string table or symbol table,
                             will  be  interpreted.  For example,
                             dump -sv -n .symtab filename... will
                             produce the same formatted output as
                             dump -tv filename..., but dump -s -n
                             .symtab  filename...  will print raw
                             data in hexadecimal.  Without  addi-
                             tional     modifiers,    dump    -sv
                             filename... will dump  all  sections
                             in the files, interpreting all those
                             that it can  and  dumping  the  rest
                             (such  as  .text  or  .data)  as raw
                             data.


     The dump utility attempts to format the information it dumps
     in a meaningful way, printing certain information in charac-
     ter,  hexadecimal,  octal,  or  decimal  representation   as
     appropriate.
