DESCRIZIONE
readelf displays information about one or more ELF format object files. The options control what
particular information to display.
elffile... are the object files to be examined. 32-bit and 64-bit ELF files are supported, as are
archives containing ELF files.
This program performs a similar function to objdump but it goes into more detail and it exists
independently of the BFD library, so if there is a bug in BFD then readelf will not be affected.
OPZIONI
Le forme lunga e breve delle opzioni, qui mostrate come alternative, sono equivalenti. Deve essere data
almeno un'opzione tra -v o -H.
-a
--all
Equivalente a specificare --file-header, --program-headers, --sections, --symbols, --relocs,
--dynamic, --notes, --version-info, --arch-specific, --unwind, --section-groups e --histogram.
Note - this option does not enable --use-dynamic itself, so if that option is not present on the
command line then dynamic symbols and dynamic relocs will not be displayed.
-h
--file-header
Displays the information contained in the ELF header at the start of the file.
-l
--program-headers
--segments
Visualizza le informazioni contenute nelle intestazioni del segmento del file, se ne ha.
--quiet
Suppress "no symbols" diagnostic.
-S
--sections
--section-headers
Visualizza le informazioni contenute nelle intestazioni della sezione del file, se ne ha.
-g
--section-groups
Displays the information contained in the file's section groups, if it has any.
-t
--section-details
Displays the detailed section information. Implies -S.
-s
--symbols
--syms
Displays the entries in symbol table section of the file, if it has one. If a symbol has version
information associated with it then this is displayed as well. The version string is displayed as a
suffix to the symbol name, preceded by an @ character. For example foo@VER_1. If the version is the
default version to be used when resolving unversioned references to the symbol then it is displayed
as a suffix preceded by two @ characters. For example foo@@VER_2.
--dyn-syms
Displays the entries in dynamic symbol table section of the file, if it has one. The output format is
the same as the format used by the --syms option.
--lto-syms
Displays the contents of any LTO symbol tables in the file.
--sym-base=[0|8|10|16]
Forces the size field of the symbol table to use the given base. Any unrecognized options will be
treated as 0. --sym-base=0 represents the default and legacy behaviour. This will output sizes as
decimal for numbers less than 100000. For sizes 100000 and greater hexadecimal notation will be used
with a 0x prefix. --sym-base=8 will give the symbol sizes in octal. --sym-base=10 will always give
the symbol sizes in decimal. --sym-base=16 will always give the symbol sizes in hexadecimal with a 0x
prefix.
-C
--demangle[=style]
Decode (demangle) low-level symbol names into user-level names. This makes C++ function names
readable. Different compilers have different mangling styles. The optional demangling style argument
can be used to choose an appropriate demangling style for your compiler.
--no-demangle
Do not demangle low-level symbol names. This is the default.
--recurse-limit
--no-recurse-limit
--recursion-limit
--no-recursion-limit
Abilitata o disabilita il limite della ricorsione effettuata durante la decodifica («demangling»)
delle stringhe. Poiché i formati di «mangling» permettono un livello infinito di ricorsione è
possibile creare stringhe la cui decodifica riempirebbe lo stack disponibile sulla macchina,
generando un problema di accesso alla memoria. Il limite cerca di evitare questa situazione,
restringendo la ricorsione ad un massimo di 2048 livelli.
Il comportamento predefinito è di avere il limite abilitato, ma disabilitarlo potrebbe essere
necessario per decodificare nomi veramente complessi. Notare che se il limite di ricorsione viene
disabilitato allora è possibile saturare lo stack, e qualsiasi segnalazione di bug su questa
situazione verrà rigettata.
-U [d|i|l|e|x|h]
--unicode=[default|invalid|locale|escape|hex|highlight]
Controls the display of non-ASCII characters in identifier names. The default (--unicode=locale or
--unicode=default) is to treat them as multibyte characters and display them in the current locale.
All other versions of this option treat the bytes as UTF-8 encoded values and attempt to interpret
them. If they cannot be interpreted or if the --unicode=invalid option is used then they are
displayed as a sequence of hex bytes, encloses in curly parethesis characters.
Using the --unicode=escape option will display the characters as as unicode escape sequences
(\uxxxx). Using the --unicode=hex will display the characters as hex byte sequences enclosed between
angle brackets.
Using the --unicode=highlight will display the characters as unicode escape sequences but it will
also highlighted them in red, assuming that colouring is supported by the output device. The
colouring is intended to draw attention to the presence of unicode sequences when they might not be
expected.
-X
--extra-sym-info
When displaying details of symbols, include extra information not normally presented. Currently this
just adds the name of the section referenced by the symbol's index field, if there is one. In the
future more information may be displayed when this option is enabled.
Enabling this option effectively enables the --wide option as well, at least when displaying symbol
information.
--no-extra-sym-info
Disables the effect of the --extra-sym-info option. This is the default.
-e
--headers
Visualizza tutte le intestazioni nel file. Equivalente a -h -l -S.
-n
--notes
Displays the contents of the NOTE segments and/or sections, if any.
-r
--relocs
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione di rilocazione del file, se ce ne sono.
-u
--unwind
Displays the contents of the file's unwind section, if it has one. Only the unwind sections for IA64
ELF files, as well as ARM unwind tables (".ARM.exidx" / ".ARM.extab") are currently supported. If
support is not yet implemented for your architecture you could try dumping the contents of the
.eh_frames section using the --debug-dump=frames or --debug-dump=frames-interp options.
-d
--dynamic
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione dinamica del file, se ce ne sono.
-V
--version-info
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione versione del file, se esiste.
-A
--arch-specific
Visualizza informazioni nel file legate all'architettura, se ce ne sono.
-D
--use-dynamic
Quando si visualizzano i simboli, questa opzione fa sì che readelf usi la tabella simboli nella
sezione dinamica del file, invece di quella nella sezione simboli.
When displaying relocations, this option makes readelf display the dynamic relocations rather than
the static relocations.
-L
--lint
--enable-checks
Displays warning messages about possible problems with the file(s) being examined. If used on its
own then all of the contents of the file(s) will be examined. If used with one of the dumping options
then the warning messages will only be produced for the things being displayed.
-x <numero o nome>
--hex-dump=<numero o nome>
Displays the contents of the indicated section as a hexadecimal bytes. A number identifies a
particular section by index in the section table; any other string identifies all sections with that
name in the object file. This option can be repeated multiple times on the command line in order to
request multiple hex dumps.
-R <numero o nome>
--relocated-dump=<numero o nome>
Displays the contents of the indicated section as a hexadecimal bytes. A number identifies a
particular section by index in the section table; any other string identifies all sections with that
name in the object file. The contents of the section will be relocated before they are displayed.
This option can be repeated multiple times on the command line in order to request multiple relocated
dumps.
-p <numero o nome>
--string-dump=<numero o nome>
Displays the contents of the indicated section as printable strings. A number identifies a particular
section by index in the section table; any other string identifies all sections with that name in the
object file. This option can be repeated multiple times on the command line in order to request
multiple string dumps.
-j <number or name>
--display-section
Displays the contents of the indicated section according to its section header type. Sections
containing relocations will be displayed as if the --relocations option had been used, sections
contains symbols will be displayed as if the --syms option had been used and so on.
A number identifies a particular section by index in the section table; any other string identifies
all sections with that name in the input file(s).
This option can be repeated multiple times on the command line in order to request multiple section
dumps.
-z
--decompress
Requests that the section(s) being dumped by x, R or p options are decompressed before being
displayed. If the section(s) are not compressed then they are displayed as is.
-c
--archive-index
Displays the file symbol index information contained in the header part of binary archives. Performs
the same function as the t command to ar, but without using the BFD library.
-w[lLiaprmfFsOoRtUuTgAckK]
--debug-dump[=rawline,=decodedline,=info,=abbrev,=pubnames,=aranges,=macro,=frames,=frames-interp,=str,=str-offsets,=loc,=Ranges,=pubtypes,=trace_info,=trace_abbrev,=trace_aranges,=gdb_index,=addr,=cu_index,=links,=follow-links]
Displays the contents of the DWARF debug sections in the file, if any are present. Compressed debug
sections are automatically decompressed (temporarily) before they are displayed. If one or more of
the optional letters or words follows the switch then only those type(s) of data will be dumped. The
letters and words refer to the following information:
"a"
"=abbrev"
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione .debug_abbrev.
"A"
"=addr"
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione .debug_addr.
"c"
"=cu_index"
Displays the contents of the .debug_cu_index and/or .debug_tu_index sections.
"f"
"=frames"
Mostra il numero di versione di .debug_frame.
"F"
"=frames-interp"
Visualizza i contenuti interpretati della sezione .debug_frame.
"g"
"=gdb_index"
Displays the contents of the .gdb_index and/or .debug_names sections.
"i"
"=info"
Displays the contents of the .debug_info section. Note: the output from this option can also be
restricted by the use of the --dwarf-depth and --dwarf-start options.
"k"
"=links"
Displays the contents of the .gnu_debuglink, .gnu_debugaltlink and .debug_sup sections, if any of
them are present. Also displays any links to separate dwarf object files (dwo), if they are
specified by the DW_AT_GNU_dwo_name or DW_AT_dwo_name attributes in the .debug_info section.
"K"
"=follow-links"
Display the contents of any selected debug sections that are found in linked, separate debug info
file(s). This can result in multiple versions of the same debug section being displayed if it
exists in more than one file.
In addition, when displaying DWARF attributes, if a form is found that references the separate
debug info file, then the referenced contents will also be displayed.
Note - in some distributions this option is enabled by default. It can be disabled via the N
debug option. The default can be chosen when configuring the binutils via the
--enable-follow-debug-links=yes or --enable-follow-debug-links=no options. If these are not used
then the default is to enable the following of debug links.
Note - if support for the debuginfod protocol was enabled when the binutils were built then this
option will also include an attempt to contact any debuginfod servers mentioned in the
DEBUGINFOD_URLS environment variable. This could take some time to resolve. This behaviour can be
disabled via the =do-not-use-debuginfod debug option.
"N"
"=no-follow-links"
Disables the following of links to separate debug info files.
"D"
"=use-debuginfod"
Enables contacting debuginfod servers if there is a need to follow debug links. This is the
default behaviour.
"E"
"=do-not-use-debuginfod"
Disables contacting debuginfod servers when there is a need to follow debug links.
"l"
"=rawline"
Displays the contents of the .debug_line section in a raw format.
"L"
"=decodedline"
Displays the interpreted contents of the .debug_line section.
"m"
"=macro"
Displays the contents of the .debug_macro and/or .debug_macinfo sections.
"o"
"=loc"
Displays the contents of the .debug_loc and/or .debug_loclists sections.
"O"
"=str-offsets"
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione .debug_str_offsets.
"p"
"=pubnames"
Displays the contents of the .debug_pubnames and/or .debug_gnu_pubnames sections.
"r"
"=aranges"
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione .debug_aranges.
"R"
"=Ranges"
Displays the contents of the .debug_ranges and/or .debug_rnglists sections.
"s"
"=str"
Displays the contents of the .debug_str, .debug_line_str and/or .debug_str_offsets sections.
"t"
"=pubtype"
Displays the contents of the .debug_pubtypes and/or .debug_gnu_pubtypes sections.
"T"
"=trace_aranges"
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione .trace_aranges.
"u"
"=trace_abbrev"
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione .trace_abbrev.
"U"
"=trace_info"
Visualizza i contenuti della sezione .trace_info.
Note: displaying the contents of .debug_static_funcs, .debug_static_vars and debug_weaknames sections
is not currently supported.
--dwarf-depth=n
Limit the dump of the ".debug_info" section to n children. This is only useful with
--debug-dump=info. The default is to print all DIEs; the special value 0 for n will also have this
effect.
With a non-zero value for n, DIEs at or deeper than n levels will not be printed. The range for n is
zero-based.
--dwarf-start=n
Print only DIEs beginning with the DIE numbered n. This is only useful with --debug-dump=info.
If specified, this option will suppress printing of any header information and all DIEs before the
DIE numbered n. Only siblings and children of the specified DIE will be printed.
This can be used in conjunction with --dwarf-depth.
-P
--process-links
Display the contents of non-debug sections found in separate debuginfo files that are linked to the
main file. This option automatically implies the -wK option, and only sections requested by other
command line options will be displayed.
--ctf[=sezione]
Display the contents of the specified CTF section. CTF sections themselves contain many subsections,
all of which are displayed in order.
By default, display the name of the section named .ctf, which is the name emitted by ld.
--ctf-parent=member
If the CTF section contains ambiguously-defined types, it will consist of an archive of many CTF
dictionaries, all inheriting from one dictionary containing unambiguous types. This member is by
default named .ctf, like the section containing it, but it is possible to change this name using the
"ctf_link_set_memb_name_changer" function at link time. When looking at CTF archives that have been
created by a linker that uses the name changer to rename the parent archive member, --ctf-parent can
be used to specify the name used for the parent.
--ctf-parent-section=section
This option lets you pick a completely different section for the CTF parent dictionary containing
unambiguous types than for the child dictionaries that contain the ambiguous remainder. The linker
does not emit ELF objects structured like this, but some third-party linkers may. It's also
convenient to inspect CTF written out as multiple raw files to compose them with objcopy, which can
put them in different ELF sections but not in different members of a single CTF dict.
--ctf-symbols=sezione
--ctf-strings=sezione
Specify the name of another section from which the CTF file can inherit strings and symbols. By
default, the ".symtab" and its linked string table are used.
If either of --ctf-symbols or --ctf-strings is specified, the other must be specified as well.
-I
--histogram
Visualizza un istogramma delle lunghezze dell'elenco del contenitore quando si visualizzano i
contenuti delle tabelle simboli.
-v
--version
Visualizza il numero di versione di readelf.
-W
--wide
Don't break output lines to fit into 80 columns. By default readelf breaks section header and segment
listing lines for 64-bit ELF files, so that they fit into 80 columns. This option causes readelf to
print each section header resp. each segment one a single line, which is far more readable on
terminals wider than 80 columns.
-T
--silent-truncation
Normally when readelf is displaying a symbol name, and it has to truncate the name to fit into an 80
column display, it will add a suffix of "[...]" to the name. This command line option disables this
behaviour, allowing 5 more characters of the name to be displayed and restoring the old behaviour of
readelf (prior to release 2.35).
-H
--help
Visualizza le opzioni della linea di comando capite da readelf.
@file
Legge le opzioni da riga di comando da file. Le opzioni lette sono inserite al posto dell'opzione
originale @file. Se file non esiste o non può essere letto, l'opzione sarà trattata letteralmente, e
non rimossa.
Le opzioni in file sono separate da spazi vuoti. Si può includere uno spazio vuoto in un'opzione
racchiudendo l'intera opzione fra apici, singoli o doppi. Può essere incluso qualsiasi carattere
(compresa la barra inversa) facendo precedere al carattere una barra inversa. Il file può esso stesso
contenere ulteriori opzioni @file; ciascuna di queste opzioni sarà elaborata ricorsivamente.
