.SH SYNOPSIS

.sp

\fBllvm\-nm\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIfilenames...\fP]

.SH DESCRIPTION

.sp

The \fBllvm\-nm\fP utility lists the names of symbols from the LLVM bitcode

files, object files, or \fBar\fP archives containing them, named on the

command line.  Each symbol is listed along with some simple information about

its provenance.  If no file name is specified, or \fI\-\fP is used as a file name,

\fBllvm\-nm\fP will process a file on its standard input stream.

.sp

\fBllvm\-nm\fP\(aqs default output format is the traditional BSD \fBnm\fP

output format.  Each such output record consists of an (optional) 8\-digit

hexadecimal address, followed by a type code character, followed by a name, for

each symbol.  One record is printed per line; fields are separated by spaces.

When the address is omitted, it is replaced by 8 spaces.

.sp

Type code characters currently supported, and their meanings, are as follows:

.sp

U

.INDENT 0.0

.INDENT 3.5

Named object is referenced but undefined in this bitcode file

.UNINDENT

.UNINDENT

.sp

C

.INDENT 0.0

.INDENT 3.5

Common (multiple definitions link together into one def)

.UNINDENT

.UNINDENT

.sp

W

.INDENT 0.0

.INDENT 3.5

Weak reference (multiple definitions link together into zero or one definitions)

.UNINDENT

.UNINDENT

.sp

.UNINDENT

.UNINDENT

.sp

Because LLVM bitcode files typically contain objects that are not considered to

have addresses until they are linked into an executable image or dynamically

compiled "just\-in\-time", \fBllvm\-nm\fP does not print an address for any

symbol in an LLVM bitcode file, even symbols which are defined in the bitcode

file.

.SH OPTIONS

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-B    (default)

Use BSD output format.  Alias for \fB\-\-format=bsd\fP\&.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-P

Use POSIX.2 output format.  Alias for \fB\-\-format=posix\fP\&.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-debug\-syms, \-a

Show all symbols, even debugger only.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-defined\-only

Print only symbols defined in this file (as opposed to

symbols which may be referenced by objects in this file, but not

defined in this file.)

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-dynamic, \-D

Display dynamic symbols instead of normal symbols.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-extern\-only, \-g

Print only symbols whose definitions are external; that is, accessible

from other files.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-format=format, \-f format

Select an output format; \fIformat\fP may be \fIsysv\fP, \fIposix\fP, or \fIbsd\fP\&.  The default

is \fIbsd\fP\&.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

Print a summary of command\-line options and their meanings.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-no\-sort, \-p

Shows symbols in order encountered.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-numeric\-sort, \-n, \-v

Sort symbols by address.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-print\-file\-name, \-A, \-o

Precede each symbol with the file it came from.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-print\-size, \-S

Show symbol size instead of address.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-size\-sort

Sort symbols by size.

.UNINDENT

.INDENT 0.0

.TP

.B \-\-undefined\-only, \-u

Print only symbols referenced but not defined in this file.

.UNINDENT

\fBnm\fP does.
