2. Usage

The od65 utility dumps contents of one or more ca65 generated object file to standard output. It has no cross-version compatibility, so you have to use a version that matches the version of ca65 used to create the object files.

2.1 Command line option overview

The program may be called as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: od65 [options] file [options] [file]
Short options:
  -h                    Help (this text)
  -H                    Dump the object file header
  -S                    Dump segments sizes
  -V                    Print the version number and exit

Long options:
  --dump-all            Dump all object file information
  --dump-dbgsyms        Dump debug symbols
  --dump-exports        Dump exported symbols
  --dump-files          Dump the source files
  --dump-header         Dump the object file header
  --dump-imports        Dump imported symbols
  --dump-lineinfo       Dump line information
  --dump-options        Dump object file options

2.2 Command line options in detail

Here is a description of all the command line options:

--dump-all

This will output all information, od65 is able to process. The option is a shortcut for specifying all the other --dump options.

--dump-dbgsyms

Dump all debug symbols contained in the object file.

--dump-exports

Dump all exported symbols contained in the object file.

--dump-files

Dump the file table contained in the object file.

-H, --dump-header

Dump the object file header.

--dump-imports

Dump the list of imported symbols contained in the object file.

--dump-lineinfo

Dump the line info contained in the object file.

--dump-segments

Dump the list of segments contained in the object file.

--dump-scopes

Dump the scope (lexical level) information contained in the object file.

-S, --dump-segsize

Dump the sizes of all segments contained in the object file. This option is quite useful to determine the effect of measures that increase or decrease code size.

-h, --help

Print the short option summary shown above.

-V, --version

Print the version number of the compiler. When submitting a bug report, please include the operating system you're using, and the compiler version.
