Inspect an ELF binary file¶

On Linux, they are two main kinds of ELF binary files: programs (/usr/bin/bash) and dynamic libraries (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6).

Symbols¶

List imported symbols:

objdump -T file

or:

# -D/--dynamic: display the dynamic symbols rather than the normal symbols
nm -D file

List exported symbols:

objdump -T file

Disassemble all sections:

objdump -d file
