NAME

6       llvm-readobj - LLVM Object Reader
7

SYNOPSIS

9       llvm-readobj [options] [input...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  llvm-readobj  tool  displays low-level format-specific information
13       about one or more object files.
14
15       If input is "-" or omitted, llvm-readobj  reads  from  standard  input.
16       Otherwise, it will read from the specified filenames.
17

DIFFERENCES TO LLVM-READELF

19       llvm-readelf is an alias for the llvm-readobj tool with a slightly dif‐
20       ferent command-line interface and output that is GNU compatible.   Fol‐
21       lowing is a list of differences between llvm-readelf and llvm-readobj:
22
23       • llvm-readelf  uses  GNU for the --elf-output-style option by default.
24         llvm-readobj uses LLVM.
25
26       • llvm-readelf allows single-letter grouped flags  (e.g.   llvm-readelf
27         -SW is the same as  llvm-readelf -S -W).  llvm-readobj does not allow
28         grouping.
29
30       • llvm-readelf provides -s as an alias for --symbols, for  GNU  readelf
31         compatibility,  whereas  it  is  an  alias  for  --section-headers in
32         llvm-readobj.
33
34       • llvm-readobj provides -t as an  alias  for  --symbols.   llvm-readelf
35         does not.
36
37       • llvm-readobj  provides  --sr,  --sd,  --st  and  --dt  as aliases for
38         --section-relocations,    --section-data,    --section-symbols    and
39         --dyn-symbols  respectively.   llvm-readelf  does  not  provide these
40         aliases, to avoid conflicting with grouped flags.
41
