Bug ID: 30684
Summary: readelf -s: support an option to display section names
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: i at maskray dot me
Target Milestone: ---
I almost always prefer readelf -Ws to objdump -t for ELF symbol information as
the former presents all information without distortion. Certain symbol types
have strange output for objdump -t output, e.g. STT_SECTION=>'d',
STT_NOTYPE=>no particular character.
There is, however, one feature that objdump -t is better: it displays the
section name for a symbol defined relative to a section. readelf -Ws just
prints st_shndx, which is sometimes less readable.
I wonder whether readelf can add an option to change the "Ndx" column to
display section names instead.
