     7  // Usage:
     8  //
     9  //	go tool nm [options] file...
    10  //
    11  // The default output prints one line per symbol, with three space-separated
    12  // fields giving the address (in hexadecimal), type (a character), and name of
    13  // the symbol. The types are:
    14  //
    15  //	T	text (code) segment symbol
    16  //	t	static text segment symbol
    17  //	R	read-only data segment symbol
    18  //	r	static read-only data segment symbol
    19  //	D	data segment symbol
    20  //	d	static data segment symbol
    21  //	B	bss segment symbol
    22  //	b	static bss segment symbol
    23  //	C	constant address
    24  //	U	referenced but undefined symbol
    25  //
    26  // Following established convention, the address is omitted for undefined
    27  // symbols (type U).
    28  //
    29  // The options control the printed output:
    30  //
    31  //	-n
    32  //		an alias for -sort address (numeric),
    33  //		for compatibility with other nm commands
    34  //	-size
    35  //		print symbol size in decimal between address and type
    36  //	-sort {address,name,none,size}
    37  //		sort output in the given order (default name)
    38  //		size orders from largest to smallest
    39  //	-type
    40  //		print symbol type after name
