# llvm-objdump - LLVM’s object file dumper

## SYNOPSIS

llvm-objdump [commands] [options] [filenames…]

## DESCRIPTION

The llvm-objdump utility prints the contents of object files and final linked images named on the command line. If no file name is specified, llvm-objdump will attempt to read from a.out. If - is used as a file name, llvm-objdump will process a file on its standard input stream.

## COMMANDS

At least one of the following commands are required, and some commands can be combined with other commands:

-a, --archive-headers

  Display the information contained within an archive’s headers.

-d, --disassemble

  Disassemble all executable sections found in the input files. On some architectures (AArch64, PowerPC, x86), all known instructions are disassembled by default. On the others, `--mcpu` or `--mattr` is needed to enable some instruction sets. Disabled instructions are displayed as `<unknown>`.

-D, --disassemble-all

  Disassemble all sections found in the input files.

--disassemble-symbols=<symbol1[,symbol2,...]>

  Disassemble only the specified symbols. Takes demangled symbol names when `--demangle` is specified, otherwise takes mangled symbol names. Implies `--disassemble`.

--dwarf=<value>

  Dump the specified DWARF debug sections. The supported values are:

  frames - .debug_frame

-f, --file-headers

  Display the contents of the overall file header.

--fault-map-section

  Display the content of the fault map section.

-h, --headers, --section-headers

  Display summaries of the headers for each section.

--help

  Display usage information and exit. Does not stack with other commands.

-p, --private-headers

  Display format-specific file headers.

-r, --reloc

  Display the relocation entries in the file.

-R, --dynamic-reloc

  Display the dynamic relocation entries in the file.

--raw-clang-ast

  Dump the raw binary contents of the clang AST section.

-s, --full-contents

  Display the contents of each section.

-t, --syms

  Display the symbol table.

-T, --dynamic-syms

  Display the contents of the dynamic symbol table.

-u, --unwind-info

  Display the unwind info of the input(s).

  This operation is only currently supported for COFF and Mach-O object files.

-v, --version

  Display the version of the llvm-objdump executable. Does not stack with other commands.

-x, --all-headers

  Display all available header information. Equivalent to specifying `--archive-headers`, `--file-headers`, `--private-headers`, `--reloc`, `--section-headers`, and `--syms`.

## OPTIONS

llvm-objdump supports the following options:

--adjust-vma=<offset>

  Increase the displayed address in disassembly or section header printing by the specified offset.

--arch-name=<string>

  Specify the target architecture when disassembling. Use `--version` for a list of available targets.

--build-id=<string>

  Look up the object using the given build ID, specified as a hexadecimal string. The found object is handled as if it were an input filename.

-C, --demangle

  Demangle symbol names in the output.

--debug-file-directory <path>

  Provide a path to a directory with a .build-id subdirectory to search for debug information for stripped binaries. Multiple instances of this argument are searched in the order given.

--debuginfod, --no-debuginfod

  Whether or not to try debuginfod lookups for debug binaries. Unless specified, debuginfod is only enabled if libcurl was compiled in (`LLVM_ENABLE_CURL`) and at least one server URL was provided by the environment variable `DEBUGINFOD_URLS`.

--debug-vars=<format>

  Print the locations (in registers or memory) of source-level variables alongside disassembly. `format` may be `unicode` or `ascii`, defaulting to `unicode` if omitted.

--debug-vars-indent=<width>

  Distance to indent the source-level variable display, relative to the start of the disassembly. Defaults to 52 characters.

-j, --section=<section1[,section2,...]>

  Perform commands on the specified sections only. For Mach-O use segment,section to specify the section name.

-l, --line-numbers

  When disassembling, display source line numbers. Implies `--disassemble`.

-M, --disassembler-options=<opt1[,opt2,...]>

  Pass target-specific disassembler options. Available options:

  - `reg-names-std`: ARM only (default). Print in ARM ‘s instruction set documentation, with r13/r14/r15 replaced by sp/lr/pc.

  - `reg-names-raw`: ARM only. Use r followed by the register number.

  - `no-aliases`: AArch64 and RISC-V only. Print raw instruction mnemonic instead of pseudo instruction mnemonic.

  - `numeric`: RISC-V only. Print raw register names instead of ABI mnemonic. (e.g. print x1 instead of ra)

  - `att`: x86 only (default). Print in the AT&T syntax.

  - `intel`: x86 only. Print in the intel syntax.

--disassembler-color=<mode>

  Enable or disable disassembler color output.

  - `off`: Disable disassembler color output.

  - `on`: Enable disassembler color output.

  - `terminal`: Enable disassembler color output if the terminal supports it (default).

--mcpu=<cpu-name>

  Target a specific CPU type for disassembly. Specify `--mcpu=help` to display available CPUs.

--mattr=<a1,+a2,-a3,...>

  Enable/disable target-specific attributes. Specify `--mattr=help` to display the available attributes.

-mllvm <arg>

  Specify an argument to forward to LLVM’s CommandLine library.

--no-leading-addr, --no-addresses

  When disassembling, do not print leading addresses for instructions or inline relocations.

--no-print-imm-hex

  Do not use hex format for immediate values in disassembly output.

--no-show-raw-insn

  When disassembling, do not print the raw bytes of each instruction.

--offloading

  Display the content of the LLVM offloading section.

--prefix=<prefix>

  When disassembling with the `--source` option, prepend `prefix` to absolute paths.

--prefix-strip=<level>

  When disassembling with the `--source` option, strip out `level` initial directories from absolute paths. This option has no effect without `--prefix`.

--print-imm-hex

  Use hex format when printing immediate values in disassembly output (default).

-S, --source

  When disassembling, display source interleaved with the disassembly. Implies `--disassemble`.

--show-all-symbols

  Show all symbols during disassembly, even if multiple symbols are defined at the same location.

--show-lma

  Display the LMA column when dumping ELF section headers. Defaults to off unless any section has different VMA and LMAs.

--start-address=<address>

  When disassembling, only disassemble from the specified address.

  When printing relocations, only print the relocations patching offsets from at least `address`.

  When printing symbols, only print symbols with a value of at least `address`.

--stop-address=<address>

  When disassembling, only disassemble up to, but not including the specified address.

  When printing relocations, only print the relocations patching offsets up to `address`.

  When printing symbols, only print symbols with a value up to `address`.

--symbolize-operands

  When disassembling, symbolize a branch target operand to print a label instead of a real address.

  When printing a PC-relative global symbol reference, print it as an offset from the leading symbol.

  When a bb-address-map section is present (i.e., the object file is built with `-fbasic-block-sections=labels`), labels are retrieved from that section instead.

  Only works with PowerPC objects or X86 linked images.

  Example:

    A non-symbolized branch instruction with a local target and pc-relative memory access like

      cmp eax, dword ptr [rip + 4112]
      jge 0x20117e <_start+0x25>

  might become

      <L0>:
        cmp eax, dword ptr <g>
        jge      <L0>

--triple=<string>

  Target triple to disassemble for, see `--version` for available targets.

-w, --wide

  Ignored for compatibility with GNU objdump.

--x86-asm-syntax=<style>

  Deprecated. When used with `--disassemble`, choose style of code to emit from X86 backend. Supported values are:

  > att

  >   AT&T-style assembly

  > intel

  >   Intel-style assembly

  The default disassembly style is att.

-z, --disassemble-zeroes

  Do not skip blocks of zeroes when disassembling.

@<FILE>

  Read command-line options and commands from response file <FILE>.
