1llvm-objdump - LLVM's object file dumper
2========================================

4.. program:: llvm-objdump
5
6SYNOPSIS
7--------
8
9:program:`llvm-objdump` [*commands*] [*options*] [*filenames...*]
10
11DESCRIPTION
12-----------
13The :program:`llvm-objdump` utility prints the contents of object files and
14final linked images named on the command line. If no file name is specified,
15:program:`llvm-objdump` will attempt to read from *a.out*. If *-* is used as a
16file name, :program:`llvm-objdump` will process a file on its standard input
17stream.
18
19COMMANDS
20--------
21At least one of the following commands are required, and some commands can be
22combined with other commands:
23

25
26  Display the information contained within an archive's headers.
27
28.. option:: -d, --disassemble
29
30  Disassemble all executable sections found in the input files. On some
31  architectures (AArch64, PPC64, x86), all known instructions are disassembled by
32  default. On the others, :option:`--mcpu` or :option:`--mattr` is needed to
33  enable some instruction sets. Disabled instructions are displayed as
34  ``<unknown>``.

37
38  Disassemble all sections found in the input files.
39
40.. option:: --disassemble-symbols=<symbol1[,symbol2,...]>
41
42  Disassemble only the specified symbols. Takes demangled symbol names when
43  :option:`--demangle` is specified, otherwise takes mangled symbol names.
44  Implies :option:`--disassemble`.
45
46.. option:: --dwarf=<value>
47
48  Dump the specified DWARF debug sections. The supported values are:
49
50  `frames` - .debug_frame

249
250.. option:: --symbolize-operands
251
252  When disassembling, symbolize a branch target operand to print a label instead of a real address.

255
256  When a bb-address-map section is present (i.e., the object file is built with ``-fbasic-block-sections=labels``), labels are retrieved from that section instead.
257
258  Only works with PowerPC objects or X86 linked images.
259
260  Example:
261    A non-symbolized branch instruction with a local target and pc-relative memory access like

263  .. code-block:: none
264
265      cmp eax, dword ptr [rip + 4112]
266      jge 0x20117e <_start+0x25>
