NAME
dwarfdump - dumps DWARF debug information of an ELF object
SYNOPSIS
dwarfdump [-abcdefilmoprsvy] [-t{afv}] [-uobjectfile]
filename
DESCRIPTION
The dwarfdump command prints DWARF sections as requested by
specific options. With no options nothing prints!
The format is intended to be human readable. If a script is
to parse the output, the -d option is useful.
Not all sections actually exist in any given object file.
The format may change from release to release, so it is
unwise to depend too heavily on the format.
The dwarfdump command accepts one or more of the following
options:
-a Dumps all sections. Same as -bcfilmoprsy -tfv.
-b Dumps the .debug_abbrev section.
-c Dumps the .debug_loc section.
-d Dense mode. Each die information of the
.debug_info section is printed in one-line format.
This option does not imply -i.
-e Ellipsis mode. Short names for DW_TAG_* and
DW_ATTR_* are used in the output for the
.debug_info section.
-f Dumps the .debug_frame section.
-i Dumps the .debug_info section.
-l Dumps the .debug_line information.
-m Dumps the .debug_macinfo section.
-o Dumps the .reloc_debug_* sections.
-p Dumps the .debug_pubnames section.
-r Dumps the .debug_aranges section.
-s Dumps .debug_string section.
-ta Same as -tfv.
-tf Dumps the .debug_static_funcs section.
-tv Dumps the .debug_static_vars section.
-uofile
Restricts the dumping of sections to the named
compilation unit.
-v Verbose mode. Shows more detailed information.
More detailed information about the .debug_frame
section prints if 2 or 3 -v options are given.
-w Dumps the .debug_weaknames section.
-y Dumps the .debug_types section.

BUGS
Currently won't deal with dwarf information in objects of a
different endianness than the host. Won't show .debug_loc
information. Won't show .debug_macinfo information. Res-
trictions in libdwarf affect its capabilities.
