     -L   Interpret and print the contents of the .lib  sections.

     -V   Write  the  version number of the dump being run on the
          standard error output.

     The following modifiers are used  in  conjunction  with  the
     options listed earlier to modify their capabilities.


     -d number
          Dump  the  section number, number, or the range of sec-
          tions starting at number and ending at the number spec-
          ified by +d.


     +d number
          Dump  sections  in  the range either beginning with the
          first section or beginning with the  section  specified
          by -d.


     -n name
          Dump  information  pertaining only to the named entity.
          This modifier applies to -h, -s, -r, -l, and -t.


     -p   Suppress printing of the headers.


     -t index
          Dump only the indexed symbol table entry. The  -t  used
          in  conjunction  with  +t  specifies  a range of symbol
          table entries.


     +t index
          Dump the symbol table entries in the range ending  with
          the indexed entry. The range begins at the first symbol
          table entry or at the entry specified by the -t option.


     -u   Underline the name of the file for emphasis.


     -v   Dump information in symbolic representation rather than
          numeric (e.g., C_STATIC instead of 0X02). This modifier
          can  be used with all the preceding dump options except
          -s and -o.


     -z name,number
          Dump line number entry or range of line numbers  start-
          ing at number for the named function.

     +z number
          Dump  line  numbers starting at either function name or
          number specified by -z, up to number specified by +z.

     Blanks separating an option and its modifier  are  optional.
     The  comma separating the name from the number modifying the
     -z option may be replaced by a blank.

     The dump command attempts to format the information it dumps
     in a meaningful way, printing certain information in charac-
     ter, hex, octal or decimal representation as appropriate.
