When the -t is used in conjunction with +t, it speci- fies a range of symbol table entries. +t index Dump the symbol table entries in the range ending with the indexed entry. The range begins at the first symbol table entry or at the entry speci- fied by the -t flag option. -u Underline the name of the file for emphasis. -v Dump information in symbolic representation rath- er than numeric (e.g., C_STATIC instead of 0X02). This modifier can be used with all the above flag options except the -s and -o flag options of dump. -z name,number Dump line number entry or range of line numbers starting at number for the named function. +z number Dump line numbers starting at either function name or number specified by -z, up to number specified by +z. Blanks separating a flag option and its modifier are option- al. The comma separating the name from the number modifying the -z flag option may be replaced by a blank. The dump command attempts to format the information it dumps in a meaningful way, printing certain information in charac- ter, hex, octal, or decimal representation, as appropriate.
