Dumping Overlay Library Files - Analog Devices VisualDSP++ 3.5 Manual

elfdump – ELF File Dumper
Disassembly yields a listing file with symbols. Assembly source with sym-
bols can be useful if you are familiar with the code and hopefully have
some documentation on what the code does. If the symbols are stripped
during linking, the dumped file contains no symbols.
Disassembling a third-party's library may violate the license for the
third-party software. Ensure there are no copyright or license issues
with the code's owner before using this disassembly technique.

Dumping Overlay Library Files

Use the
elfar
overlay library files (.
For example, the following command lists (prints) the contents (library
members) of the
elfar -p CLONE2.OVL
The following command allows you to view one of the library members
( ).
CLONE2.ELF
elfdump -all CLONE2.OVL(CLONE2.elf)
The following commands extract
elfar -e CLONE2.ovl
elfdump -all CLONE2.elf
Switches for these commands are case sensitive.
