10 The symbol table (name list) of each object in _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\b(_\bs_\b) is displayed. If
11 a library (archive) is given, n\bnm\bm displays a list for each object archive
12 member. If _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be is not present, n\bnm\bm searches for the file _\ba_\b._\bo_\bu_\bt and if
13 present, displays the symbol table for _\ba_\b._\bo_\bu_\bt.
14
15 -\b-a\ba Display symbol table entries inserted for use by debuggers.
16
17 -\b-g\bg Restrict display to external (global) symbols.
18
19 -\b-n\bn Present results in numerical order.
20
21 -\b-o\bo Display full path or library name of object on every line.
22
23 -\b-p\bp Do not sort at all.
24
25 -\b-r\br Reverse order sort.
26
27 -\b-u\bu Display undefined symbols only.
28
29 -\b-w\bw Warn about non-object archive members. Normally, nm will silently
30 ignore all archive members which are not object files.
31
32 Each symbol name is preceded by its value (a blank field if the symbol is
33 undefined) and one of the following letters:
34
35 -\b- debugger symbol table entries (see the -\b-a\ba option).
36 A absolute
37 B bss segment symbol
38 C common symbol
39 D data segment symbol
40 f file name
41 T text segment symbol
42 U undefined
43
44 If the symbol is local (non-external) the type letter is in lower case.
45 The output is sorted alphabetically.
