Usage: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/nm [option(s)] [file(s)]
 List symbols in [file(s)] (a.out by default).
 The options are:
  -a, --debug-syms       Display debugger-only symbols
  -A, --print-file-name  Print name of the input file before every symbol
  -B                     Same as --format=bsd
  -C, --demangle[=STYLE] Decode mangled/processed symbol names
                           STYLE can be "none", "auto", "gnu-v3", "java",
                           "gnat", "dlang", "rust"
      --no-demangle      Do not demangle low-level symbol names
      --recurse-limit    Enable a demangling recursion limit.  (default)
      --no-recurse-limit Disable a demangling recursion limit.
  -D, --dynamic          Display dynamic symbols instead of normal symbols
  -e                     (ignored)
  -f, --format=FORMAT    Use the output format FORMAT.  FORMAT can be `bsd',
                           `sysv', `posix' or 'just-symbols'.
                           The default is `bsd'
  -g, --extern-only      Display only external symbols
    --ifunc-chars=CHARS  Characters to use when displaying ifunc symbols
  -j, --just-symbols     Same as --format=just-symbols
  -l, --line-numbers     Use debugging information to find a filename and
                           line number for each symbol
  -n, --numeric-sort     Sort symbols numerically by address
  -o                     Same as -A
  -p, --no-sort          Do not sort the symbols
  -P, --portability      Same as --format=posix
  -r, --reverse-sort     Reverse the sense of the sort
      --plugin NAME      Load the specified plugin
  -S, --print-size       Print size of defined symbols
  -s, --print-armap      Include index for symbols from archive members
      --quiet            Suppress "no symbols" diagnostic
      --size-sort        Sort symbols by size
      --special-syms     Include special symbols in the output
      --synthetic        Display synthetic symbols as well
  -t, --radix=RADIX      Use RADIX for printing symbol values
      --target=BFDNAME   Specify the target object format as BFDNAME
  -u, --undefined-only   Display only undefined symbols
  -U, --defined-only     Display only defined symbols
      --unicode={default|show|invalid|hex|escape|highlight}
                         Specify how to treat UTF-8 encoded unicode characters
  -W, --no-weak          Ignore weak symbols
      --without-symbol-versions  Do not display version strings after symbol names
  -X 32_64               (ignored)
  @FILE                  Read options from FILE
  -h, --help             Display this information
