NAME
otool - object file displaying tool
SYNOPSIS
otool [ option ... ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The otool command displays specified parts of object files or libraries. If the, -m
option is not used, the file arguments may be of the form libx.a(foo.o), to request infor-
mation about only that object file and not the entire library. (Typically this argument
must be quoted, ``libx.a(foo.o)'', to get it past the shell.) Otool understands both
Mach-O (Mach object) files and universal file formats. Otool can display the specified
information in either its raw (numeric) form (without the -v flag), or in a symbolic form
using macro names of constants, etc. (with the -v or -V flag).
At least one of the following options must be specified:
-a Display the archive header, if the file is an archive.
-S Display the contents of the `__.SYMDEF' file, if the file is an archive.
-f Display the universal headers.
-h Display the Mach header.
-l Display the load commands.
-L Display the names and version numbers of the shared libraries that the object file
uses.
-D Display just install name of a shared library.
-s segname sectname
Display the contents of the section (segname,sectname). If the -v flag is speci-
fied, the section is displayed as its type, unless the type is zero (the section
header flags). Also the sections (__OBJC,__protocol), (__OBJC,__string_object) and
(__OBJC,__runtime_setup) are displayed symbolically if the -v flag is specified.
-t Display the contents of the (__TEXT,__text) section. With the -v flag, this disas-
sembles the text. And with -V, it also symbolically disassembles the operands.
-d Display the contents of the (__DATA,__data) section.
-o Display the contents of the __OBJC segment used by the Objective-C run-time system.
-r Display the relocation entries.
-c Display the argument strings (argv[] and envp[]) from a core file.
-I Display the indirect symbol table.
-T Display the table of contents for a dynamically linked shared library.
-R Display the reference table of a dynamically linked shared library.
-M Display the module table of a dynamically linked shared library.
-H Display the two-level namespace hints table.
The following options may also be given:
-p name
Used with the -t and -v or -V options to start the disassembly from symbol name and
continue to the end of the (__TEXT,__text) section.
-v Display verbosely (symbolically) when possible.
-V Display the disassembled operands symbolically (this implies the -v option). This
is useful with the -t option.
-X Don't display leading addresses when displaying contents of sections.
-arch arch_type
Specifies the architecture, arch_type, of the file for otool(1) to operate on when
the file is a universal file. (See arch(3) for the currently know arch_types.)
The arch_type can be "all" to operate on all architectures in the file. The
default is to display only the host architecture, if the file contains it; other-
wise, all architectures in the file are shown.
-m The object file names are not assumed to be in the archive(member) syntax, which
allows file names containing parenthesis.
