NAME
     nm - print name list (symbol table) of object file

SYNOPSIS

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

     Origin:   System III

     Remarks:  This manual page describes _n_m  as  implemented  on
               the  Series  200  computers.  Refer to other _n_m(1)
               manual  pages  for  information  valid  for  other
               implementations.

DESCRIPTION
     _N_m prints the name list (symbol table) of each  object  file
     in the argument list.  If an argument is an archive, a list-
     ing 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  printed  in  a
     representation   appropriate  to  the  architecture  of  the
     machine (blanks if undefined)  and  one  of  the  letters  U
     (undefined),  A (absolute), T (text segment symbol), D (data
     segment symbol), B (bss segment symbol),  R  (register  sym-
     bol),  F (file symbol), or C (common symbol).  If the symbol
     is local (non-external) the type letter is  in  lower  case.
     The output is sorted alphabetically.

     Options are:

     -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.  This option can be used to
          make piping to _g_r_e_p(1) more meaningful.

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

     -r   Sort in reverse order.

     -s   Sort according to the size of the external symbol (com-
          puted from the difference between the value of the sym-
          bol and the value of the symbol with the  next  highest
          value).   This  difference  is the value printed.  This
          flag turns on -g and -n and turns off -u and -p.

     -u   Print only undefined symbols.

     If the symbol was an align symbol,  the  letter  L  will  be
     printed after the letter describing its type.
