User Commands ✨ EMNM(1)

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is the emscripten wrapper around llvm-nm and it is lowkey iconic. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

emnm — it's the emscripten wrapper around llvm-nm 💅 (yes that is literally the whole job and she does it beautifully)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

OVERVIEW: LLVM symbol table dumper 🔥

USAGE:

/usr/bin/llvm-nm-21 [options] <input object files>

so real. you hand her some object files, she hands you symbols. that's the vibe. no cap.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay buckle up, this is the long part, but every single one is here because I do NOT skip details, that's not the energy we bring 🦋

  • -A — alias for --print-file-name

🍓 llvm-nm Mach-O Specific Options 🍓

apple-flavored section, let's go 🧚

  • --add-dyldinfo — add symbols from the dyldinfo that aren't already in the symbol table

💜 llvm-nm XCOFF Specific Options 💜

  • --no-rsrc — exclude resource file symbols (__rsrc) from the export symbol list.

📥 one more thing 📥

pass @FILE as an argument to read options from FILE 👑 (yes, like a little options snack you feed her from a text file, obsessed)

🫶 reminder bestie: every flag, every default, every value above is exactly as written in the original. do not freestyle with these, she's sensitive about it.
