MODIFIERS
     Use the following modifiers in conjunction with the options listed above
     to modify their capabilities.

     -d number  Dump the section number, number, or the range of sections
                starting at number and ending at the number specified by +d.

     +d number  Dump sections in the range either beginning with the first

                section or beginning with the section specified by -d.

     -n name    Dump information pertaining only to the named entity.  This
                modifier applies to -h, -s, -r, -l, and -t.

     -p         Suppress printing of the headers.

     -t index   Dump only the indexed symbol table entry.  Use -t in
                conjunction with +t, to specify a range of symbol table
                entries.

     +t index   Dump the symbol table entries in the range ending with the
                indexed entry.  The range begins at the first symbol table
                entry or at the entry specified by the -t option.

     -u         Underline the filename for emphasis.

     -v         Dump information in symbolic representation rather than
                numeric (for example, C_STATIC rather than 0X02 ).  You can
                use this modifier with all the above options except -s and -o
                options of coffdump.

     -z name,number
                Dump line-number entry or range of line numbers starting at
                number for the named function.

     +z number  Dump line numbers starting at either function name or number
                specified by -z, up to number specified by +z.

     Blanks separating an option and its modifier are optional.  You can
     replace the comma separating the name from the number modifying the -z
     option, by a blank.

     The coffdump command attempts to format the information it dumps in a
     meaningful way, printing certain information in character, hex, octal, or
     decimal representation as appropriate.
