.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBllvm\-nm\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIfilenames...\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBllvm\-nm\fP utility lists the names of symbols from the LLVM bitcode
files, object files, or \fBar\fP 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 \fI\-\fP is used as a file name,
\fBllvm\-nm\fP will process a file on its standard input stream.
.sp
\fBllvm\-nm\fP\(aqs default output format is the traditional BSD \fBnm\fP
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.
.sp
Type code characters currently supported, and their meanings, are as follows:
.sp
U
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Named object is referenced but undefined in this bitcode file
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
C
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Common (multiple definitions link together into one def)
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
W
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Weak reference (multiple definitions link together into zero or one definitions)
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
t
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Local function (text) object
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT

.INDENT 3.5

.UNINDENT

.sp
d

.INDENT 3.5
Local data object
.UNINDENT

.UNINDENT

.sp
Because LLVM bitcode files typically contain objects that are not considered to
have addresses until they are linked into an executable image or dynamically
compiled "just\-in\-time", \fBllvm\-nm\fP does not print an address for any
symbol in a LLVM bitcode file, even symbols which are defined in the bitcode
file.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-B (default)
Use BSD output format. Alias for \fI\-\-format=bsd\fP.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0

.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-debug\-syms, \-a
Show all symbols, even debugger only.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-defined\-only
Print only symbols defined in this file (as opposed to
