          LIST(1)              INTERACTIVE UNIX System              LIST(1)



          NAME
               list - produce C source listing from a common object file

          SYNOPSIS
               list [-V] [-h] [-F function] source-file . . . [object-file]

          DESCRIPTION
               The list command produces a C source listing with line
               number information attached.  If multiple C source files
               were used to create the object file, list will accept multi-
               ple file names. The object file is taken to be the last
               non-C source file argument.  If no object file is specified,
               the default object file, a.out, will be used.

               Line numbers will be printed for each line marked as break-
               point inserted by the compiler (generally, each executable C
               statement that begins a new line of source).  Line numbering
               begins anew for each function.  Line number 1 is always the
               line containing the left curly brace ({) that begins the
               function body.  Line numbers will also be supplied for inner
               block redeclarations of local variables so that they can be
               distinguished by the symbolic debugger.

               The following options are interpreted by list and may be
               given in any order:

               -V          Print, on standard error, the version number of
                           the list command executing.

               -h          Suppress heading output.

               -Ffunction  List only the named function.  The -F option may
                           be specified multiple times on the command line.

          DIAGNOSTICS
               The list command will produce the error message ``list:
               name: cannot open'' if name cannot be read.  If the source
               file names do not end in .c , the message is ``list: name:
               invalid C source name''.  An invalid object file will cause
               the message ``list: name: bad magic'' to be produced.  If
               some or all of the symbolic debugging information is miss-
               ing, one of the following messages will be printed:  ``list:
               name: symbols have been stripped, cannot proceed'', ``list:
               name: cannot read line numbers'', and ``list: name: not in
               symbol table''.  The following messages are produced when
               list has become confused by #ifdef's in the source file:
               ``list: name: cannot find function in symbol table'',
               ``list: name: out of sync: too many }'', and ``list: name:
               unexpected end-of-file''.  The error message ``list: name:
               missing or inappropriate line numbers'' means that either

               symbol debugging information is missing, or list has been
               confused by C preprocessor statements.

          CAVEATS
               Object files given to list must have been compiled with the
               -g option of cc(1).

               Since list does not use the C preprocessor, it may be unable
               to recognize function definitions whose syntax has been dis-
               torted by the use of C preprocessor macro substitutions.
