• -demangle — dumps the demangled output 🧚 no more cryptic name soup.
• -defined-only — dumps only the defined symbols. if it ain't defined, it ain't invited 🙈
• -print-value — dumps the initial values of the variables 💜 the origin story, if you will.
• -name-sort — sorts the symbols alphabetically 🔤 a to z, tidy queen.
• -size-sort — sorts the symbols according to size 📏 big ones and lil ones, ordered.
• -reverse-sort — dumps the symbols in reverse order 🔄 flip it and reverse it.
• -no-sort — dumps the symbols in order of occurrence ✨ chaotic neutral. just how they showed up.
• -symbol= — dumps the details of a specific symbol 🔍 put the symbol name in there and we go.
• -objects — dumps the details of LTO objects 🎀 the main event, honestly.
• -type-stats — dumps the statistics of tree types 🌳 numbers about types, go off.
• -tree-stats — dumps the statistics of trees 🌲 yes, different from the last one, don't @ me.
• -gimple-stats — dumps the statistics of gimple statements 📊 gimple stans rise.
• -dump-level= — for deciding the optimization level of body ⚙️ you feed it the level, it does the deciding.
• -dump-body= — dumps the specific gimple body 🫀 one body, hand-picked.

ngl bestie, several of these take a value after the = — -symbol=, -dump-level=, -dump-body= — so don't leave them hanging with nothing 💀 the original says exactly that much and no more, so I'm not gonna make up extra rules about it. iykyk.
