NAME
       dis - object code disassembler

SYNOPSIS
       dis [-o] [-V] [-d sec] [-D sec] [-F function] [-t sec] [-l string]
       file ...

DESCRIPTION
       Dis produces an assembly language listing of file, which may be an
       object file or, in an ELF environment, an archive of object files.
       The listing includes assembly statements and a hexadecimal
       representation of the binary that produced those statements.

       In an ELF environment, dis accepts the following options, which 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 string   Disassemble the archive file specified by string.  For
                   example, one would issue the command dis -l x -l z to
                   disassemble libx.a and libz.a, which are assumed to be in
                   LIBDIR.

       -o          Print numbers in octal.  The default is hexadecimal.


       -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 will be 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
       [e.g., 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.

FILES
       LIBDIR         usually /usr/lib

DIAGNOSTICS
       The self-explanatory diagnostics indicate errors in the command line
       or problems encountered with the specified files.

SEE ALSO
       as(1), cc(1), ld(1), a.out(4).

NOTES
       At this time, symbolic disassembly does not take advantage of
       additional information available if the file is compiled with the -g
       option.
