DESCRIPTION
GNU nm lists the symbols from object files objfile.... If no object
files are listed as arguments, nm assumes the file a.out.
For each symbol, nm shows:
o The symbol value, in the radix selected by options (see below), or
hexadecimal by default.
o The symbol type. At least the following types are used; others
are, as well, depending on the object file format. If lowercase,
the symbol is usually local; if uppercase, the symbol is global
(external). There are however a few lowercase symbols that are
shown for special global symbols ("u", "v" and "w").
"A" The symbol's value is absolute, and will not be changed by
further linking.
"B"
"b" The symbol is in the uninitialized data section (known as BSS).
"C" The symbol is common. Common symbols are uninitialized data.
When linking, multiple common symbols may appear with the same
name. If the symbol is defined anywhere, the common symbols
are treated as undefined references.
"D"
"d" The symbol is in the initialized data section.
"G"
"g" The symbol is in an initialized data section for small objects.
Some object file formats permit more efficient access to small
data objects, such as a global int variable as opposed to a
large global array.
"i" For PE format files this indicates that the symbol is in a
section specific to the implementation of DLLs. For ELF format
files this indicates that the symbol is an indirect function.
This is a GNU extension to the standard set of ELF symbol
types. It indicates a symbol which if referenced by a
relocation does not evaluate to its address, but instead must
be invoked at runtime. The runtime execution will then return
the value to be used in the relocation.
"I" The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol.
"N" The symbol is a debugging symbol.
"p" The symbols is in a stack unwind section.
"R"
"r" The symbol is in a read only data section.
"S"
"s" The symbol is in an uninitialized data section for small
objects.
"T"
"t" The symbol is in the text (code) section.
"U" The symbol is undefined.
"u" The symbol is a unique global symbol. This is a GNU extension
to the standard set of ELF symbol bindings. For such a symbol
the dynamic linker will make sure that in the entire process
there is just one symbol with this name and type in use.
"V"
"v" The symbol is a weak object. When a weak defined symbol is
linked with a normal defined symbol, the normal defined symbol
is used with no error. When a weak undefined symbol is linked
and the symbol is not defined, the value of the weak symbol
becomes zero with no error. On some systems, uppercase
indicates that a default value has been specified.
"W"
"w" The symbol is a weak symbol that has not been specifically
tagged as a weak object symbol. When a weak defined symbol is
linked with a normal defined symbol, the normal defined symbol
is used with no error. When a weak undefined symbol is linked
and the symbol is not defined, the value of the symbol is
determined in a system-specific manner without error. On some
systems, uppercase indicates that a default value has been
specified.
"-" The symbol is a stabs symbol in an a.out object file. In this
case, the next values printed are the stabs other field, the
stabs desc field, and the stab type. Stabs symbols are used to
hold debugging information.
"?" The symbol type is unknown, or object file format specific.
o The symbol name.
OPTIONS
The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are
equivalent.
-A
-o
--print-file-name
Precede each symbol by the name of the input file (or archive
member) in which it was found, rather than identifying the input
file once only, before all of its symbols.
-a
--debug-syms
Display all symbols, even debugger-only symbols; normally these are
not listed.
-B The same as --format=bsd (for compatibility with the MIPS nm).
-C
--demangle[=style]
Decode (demangle) low-level symbol names into user-level names.
Besides removing any initial underscore prepended by the system,
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.
-D
--dynamic
Display the dynamic symbols rather than the normal symbols. This
is only meaningful for dynamic objects, such as certain types of
shared libraries.
-f format
--format=format
Use the output format format, which can be "bsd", "sysv", or
"posix". The default is "bsd". Only the first character of format
is significant; it can be either upper or lower case.
-g
--extern-only
Display only external symbols.
-h
--help
Show a summary of the options to nm and exit.
-l
--line-numbers
For each symbol, use debugging information to try to find a
filename and line number. For a defined symbol, look for the line
number of the address of the symbol. For an undefined symbol, look
for the line number of a relocation entry which refers to the
symbol. If line number information can be found, print it after
the other symbol information.
-n
-v
--numeric-sort
Sort symbols numerically by their addresses, rather than
alphabetically by their names.
-p
--no-sort
Do not bother to sort the symbols in any order; print them in the
order encountered.
-P
--portability
Use the POSIX.2 standard output format instead of the default
format. Equivalent to -f posix.
-r
--reverse-sort
Reverse the order of the sort (whether numeric or alphabetic); let
the last come first.
-S
--print-size
Print both value and size of defined symbols for the "bsd" output
style. This option has no effect for object formats that do not
record symbol sizes, unless --size-sort is also used in which case
a calculated size is displayed.
-s
--print-armap
When listing symbols from archive members, include the index: a
mapping (stored in the archive by ar or ranlib) of which modules
contain definitions for which names.
-t radix
--radix=radix
Use radix as the radix for printing the symbol values. It must be
d for decimal, o for octal, or x for hexadecimal.
-u
--undefined-only
Display only undefined symbols (those external to each object
file).
-U [d|i|l|e|x|h]
--unicode=[default|invalid|locale|escape|hex|highlight]
Controls the display of UTF-8 encoded mulibyte characters in
strings. The default (--unicode=default) is to give them no
special treatment. The --unicode=locale option displays the
sequence in the current locale, which may or may not support them.
The options --unicode=hex and --unicode=invalid display them as hex
byte sequences enclosed by either angle brackets or curly braces.
The --unicode=escape option displays them as escape sequences
(\uxxxx) and the --unicode=highlight option displays them as escape
sequences highlighted in red (if supported by the output device).
The colouring is intended to draw attention to the presence of
unicode sequences where they might not be expected.
-V
--version
Show the version number of nm and exit.
-X This option is ignored for compatibility with the AIX version of
nm. It takes one parameter which must be the string 32_64. The
default mode of AIX nm corresponds to -X 32, which is not supported
by GNU nm.
--defined-only
Display only defined symbols for each object file.
--plugin name
Load the plugin called name to add support for extra target types.
This option is only available if the toolchain has been built with
plugin support enabled.
--size-sort
Sort symbols by size. For ELF objects symbol sizes are read from
the ELF, for other object types the symbol sizes are computed as
the difference between the value of the symbol and the value of the
symbol with the next higher value. If the "bsd" output format is
used the size of the symbol is printed, rather than the value, and
-S must be used in order both size and value to be printed.
--special-syms
Display symbols which have a target-specific special meaning.
These symbols are usually used by the target for some special
processing and are not normally helpful when included in the normal
symbol lists. For example for ARM targets this option would skip
the mapping symbols used to mark transitions between ARM code,
THUMB code and data.
--synthetic
Include synthetic symbols in the output. These are special symbols
created by the linker for various purposes. They are not shown by
default since they are not part of the binary's original source
code.
--target=bfdname
Specify an object code format other than your system's default
format.
@file
Read command-line options from file. The options read are inserted
in place of the original @file option. If file does not exist, or
cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not
removed.
Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including
a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be
included with a backslash. The file may itself contain additional
@file options; any such options will be processed recursively.

X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(3) OpenSSL X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(3)
NAME
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID, X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ,
X509_NAME_get_entry, X509_NAME_entry_count, X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID,
X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ - X509_NAME lookup and enumeration functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
int X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(X509_NAME *name,int nid,int lastpos);
int X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ(X509_NAME *name,ASN1_OBJECT *obj, int lastpos);
int X509_NAME_entry_count(X509_NAME *name);
X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_get_entry(X509_NAME *name, int loc);
int X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID(X509_NAME *name, int nid, char *buf,int len);
int X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ(X509_NAME *name, ASN1_OBJECT *obj, char *buf,int len);
DESCRIPTION
These functions allow an X509_NAME structure to be examined. The
X509_NAME structure is the same as the Name type defined in RFC2459
(and elsewhere) and used for example in certificate subject and issuer
names.
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() and X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ() retrieve
the next index matching nid or obj after lastpos. lastpos should
initially be set to -1. If there are no more entries -1 is returned.
If nid is invalid (doesn't correspond to a valid OID) then -2 is
returned.
X509_NAME_entry_count() returns the total number of entries in name.
X509_NAME_get_entry() retrieves the X509_NAME_ENTRY from name
corresponding to index loc. Acceptable values for loc run from 0 to
(X509_NAME_entry_count(name) - 1). The value returned is an internal
pointer which must not be freed.
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID(), X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ() retrieve the
"text" from the first entry in name which matches nid or obj, if no
such entry exists -1 is returned. At most len bytes will be written and
the text written to buf will be null terminated. The length of the
output string written is returned excluding the terminating null. If
buf is <NULL> then the amount of space needed in buf (excluding the
final null) is returned.
NOTES
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID() and X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ() are legacy
functions which have various limitations which make them of minimal use
in practice. They can only find the first matching entry and will copy
the contents of the field verbatim: this can be highly confusing if the
target is a muticharacter string type like a BMPString or a UTF8String.
For a more general solution X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() or
X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ() should be used followed by
X509_NAME_get_entry() on any matching indices and then the various
X509_NAME_ENTRY utility functions on the result.
The list of all relevant NID_* and OBJ_* codes can be found in the
source code header files <openssl/obj_mac.h> and/or
<openssl/objects.h>.
Applications which could pass invalid NIDs to
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() should check for the return value of -2.
Alternatively the NID validity can be determined first by checking
OBJ_nid2obj(nid) is not NULL.
EXAMPLES
Process all entries:
int i;
X509_NAME_ENTRY *e;
for (i = 0; i < X509_NAME_entry_count(nm); i++)
{
e = X509_NAME_get_entry(nm, i);
/* Do something with e */
}
Process all commonName entries:
int lastpos = -1;
X509_NAME_ENTRY *e;
for (;;)
{
lastpos = X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(nm, NID_commonName, lastpos);
if (lastpos == -1)
break;
e = X509_NAME_get_entry(nm, lastpos);
/* Do something with e */
}
RETURN VALUES
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() and X509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ() return
the index of the next matching entry or -1 if not found.
X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() can also return -2 if the supplied NID is
invalid.
X509_NAME_entry_count() returns the total number of entries.
X509_NAME_get_entry() returns an X509_NAME pointer to the requested
entry or NULL if the index is invalid.
