45 \& displays information about one or more object files.
46 The options control what particular information to display. This
47 information is mostly useful to programmers who are working on the
48 compilation tools, as opposed to programmers who just want their
49 program to compile and work.

79 You can specify a particular object-code format for your object files as

174 Solaris 2.0) in which .stab debugging symbol-table entries are carried
175 in an ELF section. In most other file formats, debugging symbol-table
176 entries are interleaved with linkage symbols, and are visible in the
183 Symbol Table. Print the symbol table entries of the file.
184 This is similar to the information provided by the `\|\c
