NM (l)
FILES
NM ( l )
-V Print the version of the nm command executing on the
standard error output.
-T By default, nm prints the entire name of the symbols
listed. Since object files can have symbol names with an
arbitrary number of characters, a name that is longer
than the width of the column set aside for names will
overflow its column, forcing every column after the
name to be misaligned. The -T option causes nm to
truncate every name which would otherwise overflow its
column and place an asterisk as the last character in the
displayed name to mark it as truncated.
Options may be used in any order, either singly or in combination,
and may appear anywhere in the command line. Therefore, both
nm name -e -v and nm -ve name print the static and external
symbols sorted by value.

CAVEATS
When all the symbols are printed, they must be printed in the
order they appear in the symbol table in order to preserve scoping
information. Therefore, the -v and -n options should be used
only in conjunction with the -e option.
