|
<p><span class="command">objdump</span> 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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p><var>objfile</var><small class="dots">...</small> are the object files to be examined. When you
|
||
|
specify archives, <span class="command">objdump</span> shows information on each of the member
|
||
|
object files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<!-- man end -->
|
||
|
<!-- man begin OPTIONS objdump -->
|
||
|
<p>The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
|
||
|
equivalent. At least one option from the list
|
||
|
<span class="option">-a,-d,-D,-e,-f,-g,-G,-h,-H,-p,-r,-R,-s,-S,-t,-T,-V,-x</span> must be given.

header information (in a format similar to <span class="samp">ls -l</span>). Besides the
|
||

information you could list with <span class="samp">ar tv</span>, <span class="samp">objdump -a</span> shows
|

the object file format of each archive member.

<br><dt><span class="env">--adjust-vma=</span><var>offset</var><dd><a name="index-section-addresses-in-objdump-60"></a><a name="index-VMA-in-objdump-61"></a>When dumping information, first add <var>offset</var> to all the section

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.

<var>bfdname</var>. This option may not be necessary; <var>objdump</var> can
|

automatically recognize many formats.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>For example,
|
||
|
<pre class="example"> objdump -b oasys -m vax -h fu.o
|

</pre>
|

<p class="noindent">displays summary information from the section headers (<span class="option">-h</span>) of

|
<span class="file">fu.o</span>, which is explicitly identified (<span class="option">-m</span>) as a VAX object
|
||
|
file in the format produced by Oasys compilers. You can list the
|
||
|
formats available with the <span class="option">-i</span> option.
|

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. See <a href="c_002b_002bfilt.html#c_002b_002bfilt">c++filt</a>,

using the <span class="option">-Ttext</span>, <span class="option">-Tdata</span>, or <span class="option">-Tbss</span> options to

store the starting address of the file segments. In those situations,

although <span class="command">ld</span> relocates the sections correctly, using <span class="samp">objdump

|
||
|
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 <span class="option">-i</span> option.
|

<br><dt><span class="env">-M </span><var>options</var><dt><span class="env">--disassembler-options=</span><var>options</var><dd>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 <span class="option">-M</span> options can be used or
|
||
|
can be placed together into a comma separated list.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>If the target is an ARM architecture then this switch can be used to
|
||
|
select which register name set is used during disassembler. Specifying
|
||
|
<span class="option">-M reg-names-std</span> (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
|
||
|
<span class="option">-M reg-names-apcs</span> will select the name set used by the ARM
|
||
|
Procedure Call Standard, whilst specifying <span class="option">-M reg-names-raw</span> will
|
||
|
just use <span class="samp">r</span> followed by the register number.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>There are also two variants on the APCS register naming scheme enabled
|
||
|
by <span class="option">-M reg-names-atpcs</span> and <span class="option">-M reg-names-special-atpcs</span> which
|
||
|
use the ARM/Thumb Procedure Call Standard naming conventions. (Either
|
||
|
with the normal register names or the special register names).
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>This option can also be used for ARM architectures to force the
|
||
|
disassembler to interpret all instructions as Thumb instructions by
|
||
|
using the switch <span class="option">--disassembler-options=force-thumb</span>. This can be
|
||
|
useful when attempting to disassemble thumb code produced by other
|
||
|
compilers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>For the x86, some of the options duplicate functions of the <span class="option">-m</span>
|
||
|
switch, but allow finer grained control. Multiple selections from the
|
||
|
following may be specified as a comma separated string.
|
||
|
<span class="option">x86-64</span>, <span class="option">i386</span> and <span class="option">i8086</span> select disassembly for
|
||
|
the given architecture. <span class="option">intel</span> and <span class="option">att</span> select between
|
||
|
intel syntax mode and AT&T syntax mode.
|
||
|
<span class="option">intel-mnemonic</span> and <span class="option">att-mnemonic</span> select between
|
||
|
intel mnemonic mode and AT&T mnemonic mode. <span class="option">intel-mnemonic</span>
|
||
|
implies <span class="option">intel</span> and <span class="option">att-mnemonic</span> implies <span class="option">att</span>.
|
||
|
<span class="option">addr64</span>, <span class="option">addr32</span>,
|
||
|
<span class="option">addr16</span>, <span class="option">data32</span> and <span class="option">data16</span> specify the default
|
||
|
address size and operand size. These four options will be overridden if
|
||
|
<span class="option">x86-64</span>, <span class="option">i386</span> or <span class="option">i8086</span> appear later in the
|
||
|
option string. Lastly, <span class="option">suffix</span>, when in AT&T mode,
|
||
|
instructs the disassembler to print a mnemonic suffix even when the
|
||
|
suffix could be inferred by the operands.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>For PPC, <span class="option">booke</span>, <span class="option">booke32</span> and <span class="option">booke64</span> select
|
||
|
disassembly of BookE instructions. <span class="option">32</span> and <span class="option">64</span> select
|
||
|
PowerPC and PowerPC64 disassembly, respectively. <span class="option">e300</span>
|
||
|
selects disassembly for the e300 family. <span class="option">440</span> selects
|
||
|
disassembly for the PowerPC 440. <span class="option">ppcps</span> selects disassembly
|
||
|
for the paired single instructions of the PPC750CL.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>For MIPS, this option controls the printing of instruction mnemonic
|
||
|
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:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<dl>
|
||
|
<dt><code>no-aliases</code><dd>Print the 'raw' instruction mnemonic instead of some pseudo
|
||
|
instruction mnemonic. I.e., print 'daddu' or 'or' instead of 'move',
|
||
|
'sll' instead of 'nop', etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>gpr-names=</code><var>ABI</var><dd>Print GPR (general-purpose register) names as appropriate
|

||
|
the ABI of the binary being disassembled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>fpr-names=</code><var>ABI</var><dd>Print FPR (floating-point register) names as
|
||
|
appropriate for the specified ABI. By default, FPR numbers are printed
|
||
|
rather than names.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>cp0-names=</code><var>ARCH</var><dd>Print CP0 (system control coprocessor; coprocessor 0) register names
|
||
|
as appropriate for the CPU or architecture specified by

<var>ARCH</var>. By default, CP0 register names are selected according to
|
||
|
the architecture and CPU of the binary being disassembled.
|
||
|
|

|
<br><dt><code>hwr-names=</code><var>ARCH</var><dd>Print HWR (hardware register, used by the <code>rdhwr</code> instruction) names
|

<p>For any of the options listed above, <var>ABI</var> or

You can list the available values of <var>ABI</var> and <var>ARCH</var> using

<p>For VAX, you can specify function entry addresses with <span class="option">-M

disassemble VAX binary files that don't contain symbol tables (like
|

|
ROM dumps). In these cases, the function entry mask would otherwise
|

|
be decoded as VAX instructions, which would probably lead the rest
|

of the function being wrongly disassembled.

<code>.stab</code> 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 <span class="option">--syms</span>
|
||
|
output.

<br><dt><span class="env">-t</span><dt><span class="env">--syms</span><dd><a name="index-symbol-table-entries_002c-printing-92"></a>Print the symbol table entries of the file.
|
||
|
This is similar to the information provided by the <span class="samp">nm</span> program,
|
||
|
although the display format is different. The format of the output
|
||
|
depends upon the format of the file being dumped, but there are two main
|
||
|
types. One looks like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre class="smallexample"> [ 4](sec 3)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 3) (nx 1) 0x00000000 .bss
|
||
|
[ 6](sec 1)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 fred
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
<p>where the number inside the square brackets is the number of the entry
|
||
|
in the symbol table, the <var>sec</var> number is the section number, the
|
||
|
<var>fl</var> value are the symbol's flag bits, the <var>ty</var> number is the
|
||
|
symbol's type, the <var>scl</var> number is the symbol's storage class and
|
||
|
the <var>nx</var> value is the number of auxilary entries associated with
|
||
|
the symbol. The last two fields are the symbol's value and its name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The other common output format, usually seen with ELF based files,
|
||
|
looks like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre class="smallexample"> 00000000 l d .bss 00000000 .bss
|
||
|
00000000 g .text 00000000 fred
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
<p>Here the first number is the symbol's value (sometimes refered to as
|
||
|
its address). The next field is actually a set of characters and
|
||
|
spaces indicating the flag bits that are set on the symbol. These
|
||
|
characters are described below. Next is the section with which the
|
||
|
symbol is associated or <em>*ABS*</em> if the section is absolute (ie
|
||
|
not connected with any section), or <em>*UND*</em> if the section is
|
||
|
referenced in the file being dumped, but not defined there.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>After the section name comes another field, a number, which for common
|
||
|
symbols is the alignment and for other symbol is the size. Finally
|
||
|
the symbol's name is displayed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The flag characters are divided into 7 groups as follows:
|
||
|
<dl>
|
||
|
<dt><code>l</code><dt><code>g</code><dt><code>!</code><dd>The symbol is local (l), global (g), neither (a space) or both (!). A
|
||
|
symbol can be neither local or global for a variety of reasons, e.g.,
|
||
|
because it is used for debugging, but it is probably an indication of
|
||
|
a bug if it is ever both local and global.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>w</code><dd>The symbol is weak (w) or strong (a space).
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>C</code><dd>The symbol denotes a constructor (C) or an ordinary symbol (a space).
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>W</code><dd>The symbol is a warning (W) or a normal symbol (a space). A warning
|
||
|
symbol's name is a message to be displayed if the symbol following the
|
||
|
warning symbol is ever referenced.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>I</code><dd>The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol (I) or a normal
|
||
|
symbol (a space).
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>d</code><dt><code>D</code><dd>The symbol is a debugging symbol (d) or a dynamic symbol (D) or a
|
||
|
normal symbol (a space).
|
||
|
|
||
|
<br><dt><code>F</code><br><dt><code>f</code><br><dt><code>O</code><dd>The symbol is the name of a function (F) or a file (f) or an object
|
||
|
(O) or just a normal symbol (a space).
|
||
|
