NAME

nm - list symbols from object files

SYNOPSIS

nm [-A|-o|--print-file-name] [-a|--debug-syms]

[-B|--format=bsd] [-C|--demangle[=style]]

[-D|--dynamic] [-fformat|--format=format]

[-g|--extern-only] [-h|--help]

[-l|--line-numbers] [-n|-v|--numeric-sort]

[-P|--portability] [-p|--no-sort]

[-r|--reverse-sort] [-S|--print-size]

[-s|--print-armap] [-t radix|--radix=radix]

[-u|--undefined-only] [-V|--version]

[-X 32_64] [--defined-only] [--no-demangle]

[--plugin name] [--size-sort] [--special-syms]

[--synthetic] [--target=bfdname]

[objfile...]

DESCRIPTION

GNU nm lists the symbols from object files objfile.... If no object

files are listed as arguments, nm assumes the file a.out.

For each symbol, nm shows:

# ... run man nm for detials.

简单说的话，就是可以帮你列举出该目标中定义的符合要求的符号。要求可以很多，主要通过参数实现：外部引入的、内部定义的、动态的... 也可以添加参数使nm同时打印行号、文件名等相关信息。

2 nm 结果含义

nm 将找到的符号值使用十六进制缺省表示，并在函数前添加其类型，类型主要有：

Value

Descripition

Note

A

The symbol's value is absolute, and will not be changed by further linking.

符号绝对，链接过程不会改变

B/b

The symbol is in the uninitialized data section (known as BSS).

非初始化符号

C

The symbol is common.

公有符号，链接时会被同名符号覆盖

D/d

The symbol is in the initialized data section.

初始化符号

G/g

The symbol is in an initialized data section for small objects.

初始化符号，面向小数据访问优化

I

The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol.

其它符号的间接引用

N

The symbol is a debugging symbol.

调试符号

P

The symbols is in a stack unwind section.

栈区符号(清空)

R/r

The symbol is in a read only data section.

符号只读

S/s

The symbol is in an uninitialized data section for small objects.

非初始化符号，面向小数据访问优化

T/t

The symbol is in the text (code) section.

代码区符号

U

The symbol is undefined.

未定义或在外部定义的符号

u

The symbol is a unique global symbol.

全局唯一，GNU保留符

V/v

The symbol is a weak object.

弱定义符(详见C++强弱符号定义)

W/w

The symbol is a weak symbol that has not been specifically tagged as a weak object symbol.

emm...绕口令符号

-

The symbol is a stabs symbol in an a.out object file.

stabs格式符号

?
