This symbol table contains local function symbols. SHT_SUNW_LDYNSM symbol tables are present even in stripped dynamic executables. These symbols augment the global symbols that are found in SHT_DYNSYM symbol table. If -L is not specified, the default behavior is to display the SHT_SYMTAB symbol information. This new option parallels the behavior of the existing -D option, which is used to display symbols from .dynsym (SHT_DYNSYM) sections. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Binding: Patch/Micro -L nm option: Committed
