A similar set of actions for Sun Studio 11 and dwarfdump is shown in
Example 4.64.

It is also possible to use the dump command with the -sv option to extract most
of the information from an executable. This will dump all the sections in an executable,
printing those that are text in text format and the other sections as hexadecimal.
An example of the output from dump is shown in Example 4.65. The actual
output from the command runs to a number of pages, and Example 4.65 shows
only a small part of this output.
$ dump -sv a.out
a.out:
