llvm-nm - list LLVM bitcode file's symbol table
===============================================
llvm-nm - list LLVM bitcode and object file's symbol table
==========================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**llvm-nm** [*options*] [*filenames...*]
:program:`llvm-nm` [*options*] [*filenames...*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **llvm-nm** utility lists the names of symbols from the LLVM bitcode files,
or **ar** archives containing LLVM bitcode files, named on the command line.
Each symbol is listed along with some simple information about its provenance.
If no file name is specified, or *-* is used as a file name, **llvm-nm** will
process a bitcode file on its standard input stream.
The :program:`llvm-nm` utility lists the names of symbols from the LLVM bitcode
files, object files, or :program:`ar` archives containing them, named on the
command line. Each symbol is listed along with some simple information about its
provenance. If no file name is specified, or *-* is used as a file name,
:program:`llvm-nm` will process a file on its standard input stream.
**llvm-nm**'s default output format is the traditional BSD **nm** output format.
Each such output record consists of an (optional) 8-digit hexadecimal address,
followed by a type code character, followed by a name, for each symbol. One
record is printed per line; fields are separated by spaces. When the address is
omitted, it is replaced by 8 spaces.

defined in this file.)
.. option:: --dynamic, -D
**--extern-only**, **-g**
Display dynamic symbols instead of normal symbols.

from other bitcode files.
from other files.
.. option:: --format=format, -f format
**--undefined-only**, **-u**
Print only symbols referenced but not defined in this bitcode file.
Select an output format; *format* may be *sysv*, *posix*, or *bsd*. The default
is *bsd*.

Select an output format; *fmt* may be *sysv*, *posix*, or *bsd*. The
default is *bsd*.
.. option:: --no-sort, -p
Shows symbols in order encountered.
.. option:: --numeric-sort, -n, -v

BUGS
----
**llvm-nm** cannot demangle C++ mangled names, like GNU **nm** can.
* :program:`llvm-nm` cannot demangle C++ mangled names, like GNU :program:`nm`
can.
* :program:`llvm-nm` does not support the full set of arguments that GNU
:program:`nm` does.
EXIT STATUS
-----------
**llvm-nm** exits with an exit code of zero.
