NAME
       nmcoll - find name collisions in object files (2BSD)

SYNOPSIS
       nmcoll file ...

DESCRIPTION
       Nmcoll scans a set of object files as produced by the assembler (typically ending with .o) and produces a listing of suspicious name dupli-
       cations.  Nmcoll is useful when porting programs that were developed with compilers that support flex (long) names to  2.11BSD  which  only
       supports seven significant characters in external names.

NOTES
       Nmcoll is a carryover from the era before longer symbol names were supported in object files.
