The .linkmap section, which is only created when the incremental linker is used (with the	+linkmap
ld+ild command).
The .linkmap_bss section, which is only created when the incremental linker is used (with	+linkmap_bss
the ld +ild command).
The .linkmap_file section, which is only created when the incremental linker is used (with	+linkmap_file
the ld +ild command).
Optional headers (program headers).	-o

Sections beginning with .objdebug_ as a string table.	+objdebug
Section contents.	-s
Symbol table entries.	-t
Dumps the value of st_shndx in symbol table, in addition to information dump from -t	-tx
option. This option is useful in verifying the data stored in the symbol table.

Version number for elfdump.	-V

The elfdump command provides the following additional options to modify your selections:

Option	Modifies	Causes elfdump to
-C	-c, -r, -s, -t	Demangle C++ symbol names before displaying them.

•With -H, ignored.

•With -nname, display the symbol whose unmangled name matches name, and prints its symbol name as a demangled name.

-D	num	-h,	-s	Display the section whose index is num.
+D	num2	-h,	-s	Display the sections in the range 1 to num2.

•With -D, display the sections in the range num to num2.

-D num	-r	Display the relocation whose index is num.
+D num2	-r	Display only the relocations which apply to the section(s) in the range.
-H	all	Select output format in hexadecimal, octal, or decimal.
-n name	-h, -r, -s	Display information about the section specified by name.
-n name	-t	Display information about the symbol entry specified by name.
-p	all	Suppress title printing.
-q	-k	Suppress printing CTTI section headers.
+s name	-c, -t	Display the section specified by name.
-S	-h,-o	Display headers in short format.
-T num	-t	Display the symbol whose index is num.
