GST2ASCII(1)                   Hatari utilities                   GST2ASCII(1)

NAME

gst2ascii - Output Atari program DRI/GST format symbol table

SYNOPSIS

gst2ascii [options] <program>

DESCRIPTION

gst2ascii reads DRI/GST symbol table from given Atari program and outputs it in the ASCII format understood by Hatari debugger and its profiler data post-processor (which doesn't accept any other format). There are some options to filter the symbol table content and the resulting ASCII output is easy to edit also by hand, if other symbols (for e.g. loop labels) need to be removed or missing function symbols need to be added.

OPTIONS

-n Sort symbol output by symbol name, not by their addresses. -b Filter BSS symbols out from the output. -b Filter DATA symbols out from the output. -t Filter TEXT symbols out from the output. -l Filter local (.L*) symbols out. Usually they're useless because they don't have names, just numbers. -o Filter symbols for object files (*.o) out.

NOTES

If you have problems, try with 'nm -n <program>' instead (Atari or cross-compiler version). If nm works, but gst2ascii doesn't, please report a bug on it.

EXAMPLES

Save 'program.prg' symbol table in ASCII format with local symbols filtered out: gst2ascii -l program.prg > program.sym Load generated ASCII symbols file in Hatari debugger: symbols program.sym TEXT DATA BSS
