I'm reading an old book on linkers and loaders and it has images of object code. But I can't figure out what tools is used to display the contents of these files. I'd appreciate if someone could point out the tool.
Here is the C code and corresponding display of the object files.
Source file m.c:
extern void a(char *);
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
static char string[] = "Hello, world!\n";
a(string);
}
Source file a.c:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
void a(char *s)
{
write(1, s, strlen(s));
}
Object code for m.o:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .text 00000010 00000000 00000000 00000020 2**3
1 .data 00000010 00000010 00000010 00000030 2**3
Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <_main>:
