If you are looking to reverse-engineer an executable and get the source code, I can't help. However, if you want to see some of the text embedded in an executable file:

strings myExecFile | more

Hello Alexcol,

Yes there are lot of utilities available in unix which will help to display the symbol name list, I mean the global functions provided in the ELF.
For instance "nm" which is a CCS tool, you can use this :
/usr/ccs/bin/nm "ELF file name" .
