NAME

objdump86, size86, nm86 - Examine object, archive or executable files

SYNOPSIS

objdump86 [file...]

size86 [file...]

nm86 [file...]

DESCRIPTION

These commands are used to examine the contents of object files. They may also be used to examine archive or executable files. When archive files are examined each module in the archive will be processed in sequence.

nm86 prints the symbol table in each of the specified files.

size86 displays a summary of the sizes of the segments in each of the files.

objdump86 decodes and displays the contents of the object files specified. This includes the section headers, symbols tables, segment sizes, and segment contents.

OPTIONS

The programs are not designed to accept any options.

It should be noted that all three of objdump86, size86, and nm86 are implemented as links to the same executable file (called objdump86 in the source distribution). The result of running this executable is determined by the file name actually used to execute it.

It is possible to force a specific behavior irrespective of the invocation file name using one of the options below

-s

Behave like size86.

-n

Behave like nm86.

RESTRICTIONS

These commands are intended for use only with the Dev86/ELKS toolchain.
