.TH LLVM-OTOOL 1 "July 31, 2018" "Apple Inc." .\" NAME .SH NAME llvm-otool \- the otool-compatible command line parser for llvm-objdump .\" SYNOPSIS .SH SYNOPSIS .B llvm-otool [ .I "option \&..." ] [ .I "file \&..." ] .\" DESCRIPTION .SH DESCRIPTION The command line shim .I llvm-otool takes all the same options as the original .IR otool (1) command and executes an equivalent .IR objdump (1) command. Its use is to ease the change over of the original use of .IR otool (1) to the llvm based open source .IR objdump (1) command with the similar functionality. .PP The original implementation of .IR otool (1) can now be found as .IR otool-classic (1) and typically will be run by using "xcrun otool-classic". .TP .B \-show-objdump-command Print the .IR objdump (1) command that .IR llvm-otool (1) will execute. .\" "NOTES FOR SPECIFIC OPTIONS" .SH "NOTES FOR SPECIFIC OPTIONS" .TP .B \-l This always implies the .B \-h option, as the .IR objdump (1) option .B \-private-headers prints both the mach header and load commands. .TP .B \-S To display the contents of the `\_\^\_.SYMDEF' archive file, use .IR llvm-nm (1) with the .B \-print-armap option. .\" "GENERAL NOTES" .SH "GENERAL NOTES" Many of the older options in .IR otool(1) are obsolete as they print parts of the object file that are no longer in use. When used with .IR llvm-otool (1) a line is printed that states the option and the functionality is obsolete. If no valid equivalent options are given then usage message from .IR objdump (1) will be printed when executed. .PP The archive member syntax of arguments of the form .IR "libx.a(foo.o)" , is not supported. Which is the same as if the .B \-m option is always used. .PP When doing disassembly the default is to not print the opcode bytes of the instructions even for 32-bit ARM. To get the opcode bytes printed for ARM the .IR otool (1) option .B \-j needs to be used. .PP There are some white space differences in the output of the .IR otool (1) and .IR objdump (1) commands in some cases. As the .IR objdump (1) command is not meant to produce the exact same output as .IR otool (1) in all cases where the functionality is very similar. .\" "SPECIFIC TRANSLATIONS OF OPTIONS" .SH "SPECIFIC TRANSLATIONS OF OPTIONS" Below is the list of .IR otool (1) options and the specific .IR objdump (1) option to print the same information. To use these options with .IR objdump (1) the .B \-macho option must be used. The default for .IR objdump (1) is as if the verbose, .B \-v option is always used. To get the non-verbose output the .IR objdump (1) .B \-non-verbose option is used. .TP .B \-a The .IR objdump (1) .B \-archive-headers will print the archive header, if the file is an archive. To get the offsets to the archive headers that would be printed with the .IR otool (1) .B \-aV options, the .IR objdump (1) .B \-archive-member-offsets can be added. .TP .B \-S There is no .IR objdump (1) option to display the contents of the `\_\^\_.SYMDEF' file, if the file is an archive. For that use .IR llvm-nm (1) with the .B \-print-armap option. .TP .B \-f The .IR objdump (1) option to display the universal headers is .BR \-universal-headers . .TP .B \-h The .IR objdump (1) option to display the Mach header is .BR \-private-header . .TP .B \-l The .IR objdump (1) option to display the load commands is .B \-private-headers which also always displays the Mach header. .TP .B \-L The .IR objdump (1) option to display the names and version numbers of the shared libraries that the object file uses, as well as the shared library ID if the file is a shared library is .BR \-dylibs-used . .TP .B \-D The .IR objdump (1) option to display just the install name of a shared library is .BR \-dylib-id . .TP .BI \-s " segname sectname" The .IR objdump (1) option to display the contents of the section .RI ( segname,sectname ) is .BI \-section " [segname,]sectname" where the .I segname is optional and all segments will be searched for a matching .IR sectname . .TP .B \-t The .IR objdump (1) option to display the contents of the (\_\^\_TEXT,\_\^\_text) section is to use the .BI \-section " \_\^\_TEXT,\_\^\_text" option. If disassembly is wanted as with the .B \-tv .IR otool (1) options then the .IR objdump (1) .B \-disassemble is used. By default .IR objdump (1) also symbolically disassembles the operands as the .IR otool (1) .B \-tV options will do. If this is not wanted then the .IR objdump (1) .B \-no-symbolic-operands option can be used. .TP .B \-x The .IR objdump (1) option to display the contents of every \_\^\_text section defined in a Mach-O file is .BI \-section " ,\_\^\_text" . Note that an empty segment name means all segments. If disassembly is wanted as with the .B \-xv .IR otool (1) options then .IR objdump (1) .B \-disassemble-all is used. By default .IR objdump (1) also symbolically disassembles the operands as the .IR otool (1) .B \-xV options will do. If this is not wanted then the .IR objdump (1) .B \-no-symbolic-operands option can be used. .TP .B \-d The .IR objdump (1) option to display the contents of the (\_\^\_DATA,\_\^\_data) section is to use the .BI \-section " \_\^\_DATA,\_\^\_data" option. .TP .B \-o The .IR objdump (1) option to display the contents of the \_\^\_OBJC segment used by the Objective-C run-time system is .BR \-objc-meta-data . .TP .B \-r The .IR objdump (1) option to display the relocation entries is .BR \-r . Note that the default relocation entry format is different between .IR objdump (1) and .IR otool (1). When .BR \-r is combined with the .BR \-macho option, .IR objdump (1) will display the relocation entries in the classic .IR otool (1) format. .TP .B \-I The .IR objdump (1) option to display the indirect symbol table is .BR \-indirect-symbols . .TP .B \-G The .IR objdump (1) option to display the data in code table is .BR \-data-in-code . .TP .B \-C The .IR objdump (1) option to display the linker optimization hints is .BR \-link-opt-hints . .TP .B \-P The .IR objdump (1) option to print the info plist section, (\_\^\_TEXT,\_\^\_info\_plist), as strings is .BR \-info-plist . .TP .BI "\-p " name The .IR objdump (1) option to start the disassembly from symbol .I name is .BI \-dis-symname " name". .TP .B \-v For .IR objdump (1) verbose output is the default and to get the non-verbose the option .BR \-non-verbose is used. .TP .B \-V For .IR objdump (1) displaying the disassembled operands symbolically is the default and to get non-symbolic operands with disassembly the option .BR \-no-symbolic-operands is used. .TP .B \-X The .IR objdump (1) option to not print leading addresses or headers with disassembly of sections is .BR \-no-leading-addr . .TP .BI \-mcpu= arg The .IR objdump (1) option when doing disassembly using the llvm disassembler to use the cpu .I arg. is the same .BI \-mcpu= arg option. .TP .BI \-arch " arch_type" The .IR objdump (1) options to specifies the architectures to operate on are the same .BI \-arch " arch_type" options. .TP .B \-j The .IR objdump (1) prints the opcode bytes of the instructions when doing disassembly by default and is turned off with the option .BR \-no-show-raw-insn . .TP .B \-\-version The .IR objdump (1) option to display the .IR llvm-otool (1) version information and the .IR objdump (1) version information is .BR \-version (with one leading dash). .SH "OBSOLETE OPTIONS" .TP .B \-c There is no .IR objdump (1) option to display the argument strings (argv[] and envp[]) from a core file. .TP .B \-T There is no .IR objdump (1) option to display the table of contents for a dynamically linked shared library, as this table is obsolete and no longer produced by the tools. .TP .B \-R There is no .IR objdump (1) option to display the reference table of a dynamically linked shared library, as this table is obsolete and no longer produced by the tools. .TP .B \-M There is no .IR objdump (1) option to display the module table of a dynamically linked shared library, as this table is obsolete and no longer produced by the tools. .TP .B \-H There is no .IR objdump (1) option to display the two-level namespace hints table, as this table is obsolete and no longer produced by the tools. .TP .B \-i There is no .IR objdump (1) option to display the shared library initialization table, as this table is obsolete and no longer produced by the tools. .TP .B \-q There is no .IR objdump (1) option to use the llvm disassembler when doing disassembly as this is the default. .TP .B \-Q There is no .IR objdump (1) option to use the .IR otool (1) disassembler when doing disassembly as only the llvm disassembler is used. .TP .B \-function_offsets There is no .IR objdump (1) option when doing disassembly to print the decimal offset from the last label printed. .TP .B \-m There is no .IR objdump (1) option to not assume to the .I archive(member) syntax as that is the default. And the .I archive(member) syntax is not supported as file arguments with .IR objdump (1). .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR otool-classic (1), .IR llvm-objdump (1)
