dis(CP)
dis --
object code disassembler
Syntax
dis [-d sec] [-D sec] [-F function] [-L] [-l string] [-o] [-s] [-T] [-t sec] [-V] file ...
Description
The
dis(CP)
command produces an assembly language listing of file,
which may be an object file or an archive of object files.
The listing includes assembly statements
and an octal or hexadecimal representation of the binary
that produced those statements.
The following options
are interpreted by the disassembler and may be specified in any order.
-d sec-
Disassemble the named section as data,
printing the offset of the data from the beginning of the section.
-D sec-
Disassemble the named section as data,
printing the actual address of the data.
-F function-
Disassemble only the named function in each object file
specified on the command line.
The -F
option may be specified multiple times on the command line.
-L-
Lookup source labels for
subsequent printing.
This option works only if the file was compiled with
additional debugging information
(for example, the -g option of
cc).
-l string-
Disassemble the archive file specified by string.
For example, the command
dis -l x -l z
disassembles libx.a and libz.a,
which are assumed to be in LIBDIR.
-o-
Print numbers in octal.
The default is hexadecimal.
-s-
Perform symbolic disassembly where possible.
Symbolic disassembly output will appear on the line
following the instruction.
Symbol names will be printed using C syntax.
-T-
Debug the operation of the disassembler itself.
-t sec-
Disassemble the named section as text.
-V-
Print, on standard error, the
version number of the disassembler
being executed.
If the -d, -D or -t options are specified,
only those named sections from each user-supplied file name are disassembled.
Otherwise, all sections containing text will be disassembled.
On output, a number enclosed in brackets
at the beginning of a line,
such as
(5),
indicates that the break-pointable line number
starts with the following instruction.
These line numbers will be printed only if the file was compiled with
additional debugging information
(for example, the -g option of
cc).
An expression such as
<40> in the operand field or in the symbolic disassembly,
following a relative displacement for control transfer instructions,
is the computed address within the section to which
control will be transferred.
A function name will appear in the first column, followed by
()
if the object file contains a symbol table.
Diagnostics
The self-explanatory diagnostics indicate errors in
the command line or problems encountered with the
specified files.
Warning
Since the -da option did not adhere to the command syntax rules,
it has been replaced by -D.
At this time, symbolic disassembly does not take advantage of additional
information available if the file is compiled with the -g option.
Files
Libdir -
usually
/usr/ccs/lib
