OVERVIEW: manipulate archived DWARF debug symbol files.
dsymutil links the DWARF debug information found in the object files
for the executable <input file> by using debug symbols information
contained in its symbol table.
USAGE: /usr/lib/llvm-20/bin/dsymutil [options] <input files>
Dsymutil Options:
--accelerator <accelerator type>
Specify the desired type of accelerator table. Valid options are 'Apple' (.apple_names, .apple_namespaces, .apple_types, .apple_objc), 'Dwarf' (.debug_names), 'Pub' (.debug_pubnames, .debug_pubtypes), 'Default' and 'None'
--arch <arch> Link DWARF debug information only for specified CPU architecture types. This option can be specified multiple times, once for each desired architecture. All CPU architectures will be linked by default.
--build-variant-suffix <suffix=buildvariant>
Specify the build variant suffix used to build the executable file.
--dump-debug-map Parse and dump the debug map to standard output. No DWARF link will take place.
-D <path> Specify a directory that contain dSYM files to search for.
--fat64 Use a 64-bit header when emitting universal binaries.
--flat Produce a flat dSYM file (not a bundle).
-f Alias for --flat
--gen-reproducer Generate a reproducer consisting of the input object files. Alias for --reproducer=GenerateOnExit.
--help Prints this help output.
-h Alias for --help
-j <threads> Alias for --num-threads
--keep-function-for-static
Make a static variable keep the enclosing function even if it would have been omitted otherwise.
--linker <DWARF linker type>
Specify the desired type of DWARF linker. Defaults to 'classic'
--no-object-timestamp Don't check timestamp for object files.
--no-odr Do not use ODR (One Definition Rule) for type uniquing.
--no-output Do the link in memory, but do not emit the result file.
--no-swiftmodule-timestamp
Don't check timestamp for swiftmodule files.
--num-threads <threads> Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous threads to use when linking multiple architectures.
--object-prefix-map <prefix=remapped>
Remap object file paths (but no source paths) before processing. Use this for Clang objects where the module cache location was remapped using -fdebug-prefix-map; to help dsymutil find the Clang module cache.
--oso-prepend-path <path>
Specify a directory to prepend to the paths of object files.
--out <filename> Alias for -o
-o <filename> Specify the output file. Defaults to <input file>.dwarf
--quiet Enable quiet mode.
-q Alias for --quiet
--remarks-drop-without-debug
Drop remarks without valid debug locations. Without this flags, all remarks are kept.
--remarks-output-format <format>
Specify the format to be used when serializing the linked remarks.
--remarks-prepend-path <path>
Specify a directory to prepend to the paths of the external remark files.
--reproducer <mode> Specify the reproducer generation mode. Valid options are 'GenerateOnExit', 'GenerateOnCrash', 'Off'.
--statistics Print statistics about the contribution of each object file to the linked debug info. This prints a table after linking with the object file name, the size of the debug info in the object file (in bytes) and the size contributed (in bytes) to the linked dSYM. The table is sorted by the output size listing the object files with the largest contribution first.
--symtab Dumps the symbol table found in executable or object file(s) and exits.
-S Output textual assembly instead of a binary dSYM companion file.
-s Alias for --symtab
--toolchain <toolchain> Embed toolchain information in dSYM bundle.
--update Updates existing dSYM files to contain the latest accelerator tables and other DWARF optimizations.
--use-reproducer <path> Use the object files from the given reproducer path.
-u Alias for --update
--verbose Enable verbose mode.
--verify-dwarf <verification mode>
Run the DWARF verifier on the input and/or output. Valid options are 'none, 'input', 'output', 'all' or 'auto' which runs the output verifier only if input verification passed.
--verify Alias for --verify-dwarf=output
--version Prints the dsymutil version.
-v Alias for --version
-y Treat the input file is a YAML debug map rather than a binary.
