NAME

llvm-readelf - GNU-style LLVM Object Reader

SYNOPSIS

llvm-readelf [ options ] [ input… ]

DESCRIPTION

The llvm-readelf tool displays low-level format-specific information about one or more object files.

If input is β€œ - ”, llvm-readelf reads from standard input. Otherwise, it will read from the specified filenames .

OPTIONS

--all, -a

Equivalent to specifying all the main display options relevant to the file format.

--addrsig

Display the address-significance table.

--arch-specific, -A

Display architecture-specific information, e.g. the ARM attributes section on ARM.

--bb-addr-map

Display the contents of the basic block address map section(s), which contain the address of each function, along with the relative offset of each basic block.

--decompress, -z

Dump decompressed section content when used with -x or -p . If the section(s) are not compressed, they are displayed as is.

--demangle, -C

Display demangled symbol names in the output.

--dependent-libraries

Display the dependent libraries section.

--dyn-relocations

Display the dynamic relocation entries.

--dyn-symbols, --dyn-syms

Display the dynamic symbol table.

--dynamic-table, --dynamic, -d

Display the dynamic table.

--cg-profile

Display the callgraph profile section.

--histogram, -I

Display a bucket list histogram for dynamic symbol hash tables.

--elf-linker-options

Display the linker options section.

--elf-output-style=<value>

Format ELF information in the specified style. Valid options are LLVM , GNU , and JSON . LLVM output is an expanded and structured format. GNU (the default) output mimics the equivalent GNU readelf output. JSON is JSON formatted output intended for machine consumption.

--extra-sym-info

Display extra information (section name) when showing symbols.

--section-groups, -g

Display section groups.

--expand-relocs

When used with --relocations , display each relocation in an expanded multi-line format.

--file-header, -h

Display file headers.

--gnu-hash-table

Display the GNU hash table for dynamic symbols.

--hash-symbols

Display the expanded hash table with dynamic symbol data.

--hash-table

Display the hash table for dynamic symbols.

--headers, -e

Equivalent to setting: --file-header , --program-headers , and --sections .

--help

Display a summary of command line options.

--hex-dump=<section[,section,...]>, -x

Display the specified section(s) as hexadecimal bytes. section may be a section index or section name.

--memtag

Display information about memory tagging present in the binary. This includes various memtag-specific dynamic entries, decoded global descriptor sections, and decoded Android-specific ELF notes.

--needed-libs

Display the needed libraries.

--no-demangle

Do not display demangled symbol names in the output. On by default.

--notes, -n

Display all notes.

--pretty-print

When used with --elf-output-style , JSON output will be formatted in a more readable format.

--program-headers, --segments, -l

Display the program headers.

--relocations, --relocs, -r

Display the relocation entries in the file.

--sections, --section-headers, -S

Display all sections.

--section-data

When used with --sections , display section data for each section shown. This option has no effect for GNU style output.

--section-details, -t

Display all section details. Used as an alternative to --sections .

--section-mapping

Display the section to segment mapping.

--section-relocations

When used with --sections , display relocations for each section shown. This option has no effect for GNU style output.

--section-symbols

When used with --sections , display symbols for each section shown. This option has no effect for GNU style output.

--stackmap

Display contents of the stackmap section.

--stack-sizes

Display the contents of the stack sizes section(s), i.e. pairs of function names and the size of their stack frames. Currently only implemented for GNU style output.

--string-dump=<section[,section,...]>, -p

Display the specified section(s) as a list of strings. section may be a section index or section name.

--symbols, --syms, -s

Display the symbol table. Also display the dynamic symbol table when using GNU output style for ELF.

--unwind, -u

Display unwind information.

--version

Display the version of the llvm-readelf executable.

--version-info, -V

Display version sections.

--wide, -W

Ignored for GNU readelf compatibility. The output is already similar to when using -W with GNU readelf.

@<FILE>

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

EXIT STATUS

llvm-readelf returns 0 under normal operation. It returns a non-zero exit code if there were any errors.
