NAME
       nm - print name list

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

DESCRIPTION
       Nm prints the name list (symbol table) of each object file 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 file 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.
