Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Nm
utility is a filter which displays each specified
Ar file ,
or the standard input if no
Ar file
arguments are specified, in a user specified
format.
Pp
The options are as follows:
Bl -tag -width Fl
It Fl A Ar base
Specify the input address base.
Ar base
may be one of
Ql d ,
Ql o ,
Ql x
or
Ql n ,
which specify decimal, octal, hexadecimal
addresses or no address, respectively.
It Fl a
Em One-byte character display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by sixteen
space-separated, three column, space-filled, characters of input data
per line.
Control characters are printed as their names instead of as
C-style escapes.
It Fl B
Same as
Fl o .
It Fl b
Em One-byte octal display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by sixteen
space-separated, three column, zero-filled, bytes of input data, in
octal, per line.
This is the default output style if no other is
selected.
It Fl c
Em One-byte character display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by sixteen
space-separated, three column, space-filled, characters of input data
per line.
Control characters are printed at C-style escapes, or as
three octal digits, if no C escape exists for the character.
It Fl d
Em Two-byte decimal display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by eight
space-separated, five column, zero-filled, two-byte units
of input data, in unsigned decimal, per line.
It Fl e
Em Eight-byte floating point display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by two space-separated,
twenty-one column, space filled, eight byte units of input data, in
floating point, per line.
It Fl F
Same as
Fl e .
It Fl f
Em Four-byte floating point display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by four space-separated,
14 column, space filled, four byte units of input data, in floating
point, per line.
It Fl H
Em Four-byte hex display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by four space-separated,
eight column, zero filled, four byte units of input data, in hex,
per line.
It Fl h
Em Two-byte hex display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by eight space-separated,
four column, zero filled, two byte units of input data, in hex,
per line.
It Fl I
Em Four-byte decimal display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by four space-separated,
eleven column, space filled, four byte units of input data, in
decimal, per line.
It Fl i
Em Two-byte decimal display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by eight space-separated,
six column, space filled, two-byte units of input data, in decimal,
per line.
It Fl j Ar skip
Skip
Ar skip
bytes from the beginning of the input.
By default,
Ar skip
is interpreted as a decimal number.
With a leading
Cm 0x
or
Cm 0X ,
Ar skip
is interpreted as a hexadecimal number;
otherwise, with a leading
Cm 0 ,
Ar skip
is interpreted as an octal number.
Appending the character
Cm b ,
Cm k ,
or
Cm m
to
Ar skip
causes it to be interpreted as a multiple of
Li 512 ,
Li 1024 ,
or
Li 1048576 ,
respectively.
It Fl L
Same as
Fl I .
It Fl l
Same as
Fl I .
It Fl N Ar length
Interpret only
Ar length
bytes of input.
It Fl O
Em Four-byte octal display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by four
space-separated, eleven column, zero-filled, four-byte units
of input data, in octal, per line.
It Fl o
Em Two-byte octal display .
Display the input offset in octal, followed by eight
space-separated, six column, zero-filled, two-byte units
of input data, in octal, per line.
It Fl t Ar type_string
Specify one or more output types.
The
Em type_string
option-argument must be a string specifying the types to be used when
writing the input data.
The string must consist of the type specification characters:
Pp
Cm a
selects US-ASCII output, with control characters replaced with their
names instead of as C escape sequences.
See also the
Cm _u
conversion provided by
Xr hexdump 1 .
Pp
Cm c
selects a standard character based conversion.
See also the
Cm _c
conversion provided by
Xr hexdump 1 .
Pp
Cm f
selects the floating point output format.
This type character can be optionally followed by the characters
Cm 4
or
Cm F
to specify four byte floating point output, or
Cm 8
or
Cm L
to specify eight byte floating point output.
The default output format is eight byte floats.
See also the
Cm e
conversion provided by
Xr hexdump 1 .
Pp
Cm d ,
Cm o ,
Cm u ,
or
Cm x
select decimal, octal, unsigned decimal, or hex output respectively.
These types can optionally be followed by
Cm C
to specify
Em char Ns -sized
output,
Cm S
to specify
Em short Ns -sized
output,
Cm I
to specify
Em int Ns -sized
output,
Cm L
to specify
Em long Ns -sized
output,
Cm 1
to specify one-byte output,
Cm 2
to specify two-byte output,
Cm 4
to specify four-byte output, or
Cm 8
to specify eight-byte output.
The default output format is in four-byte quantities.
See also the
Cm d ,
Cm o ,
Cm u ,
and
Cm x
conversions provided by
Xr hexdump 1 .
\"(a|c|f[FLD]?|[doux][C1S2I4L8]?)*
It Fl v
The
Fl v
option causes
Nm
to display all input data.
Without the
Fl v
option, any number of groups of output lines, which would be
identical to the immediately preceding group of output lines (except
for the input offsets), are replaced with a line comprised of a
single asterisk
Pq Sq \&* .
It Fl X
Same as
Fl H .
It Fl x
Same as
Fl h .
El
Pp
For each input file,
Nm
sequentially copies the input to standard output, transforming the
data according to the options given.
If no options are specified, the
default display is equivalent to specifying the
Fl o
option.

after he augmented the deprecated
Nm
syntax to include things he felt
had been missing for a long time.
