NAME
     nm - print name list

SYNOPSIS
     nm [ -a ] [ -g ] [ -n ] [ -o ] [ -p ] [ -r ] [ -u ] [
     filename ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     Nm prints the name list (symbol table) of each object file
     in the argument list. If an argument is an archive, a
     listing for each object file in the archive will be
     produced. If no filename is given, the symbols in a.out are
     listed.

     Each symbol name is preceded by its value (blanks if
     undefined) and one of the letters U (undefined), A
     (absolute), T (text segment symbol), D (data segment
     symbol), B (bss segment symbol), C (common symbol), f file
     name, or - for sdb(1) symbol table entries (see -a below).
     If the symbol is local (non-external) the type letter is in
     lower case.  The output is sorted alphabetically.

     Nm works with both long and short format archive files.

OPTIONS
     -a Print sdb(1) symbol table entries.  Normally, these
        entries are not listed.

     -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.

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

     -r Sort in reverse order.

     -u Print only undefined symbols.

EXAMPLES
          nm -u

     prints only the undefined symbols in a.out, the default
     output file for the C compiler.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.
