NAME
       nm - print name list

SYNOPSIS
       nm [ -agnopru ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       _N_m prints the name list (symbol table) of each object _f_i_l_e in the argu‐
       ment list.  If an argument is an archive, a  listing  for  each  object
       file in the archive will be produced.  If no _f_i_l_e is given, the symbols
       in "a.out" are listed.

       Each symbol name is preceded by its value (blanks if undefined) and one
       of  the letters U (undefined), A (absolute), T (text segment symbol), D
       (data segment symbol), B (bss segment symbol),  C  (common  symbol),  f
       file  name,  or - for debugger symbol table entries (see -a below).  If
       the symbol is local (non-external) the type letter is  in  lower  case.
       The output is sorted alphabetically.

       Options are:

       -a     Print symbol table entries inserted for use by debuggers.

       -g     Print only global (external) symbols.

       -n     Sort numerically rather than alphabetically.

       -o     Prepend  file or archive element name to each output line rather
              than only once.

       -p     Don’t sort; print in symbol-table order.

       -r     Sort in reverse order.

       -u     Print only undefined symbols.
