is displayed.
If a library (archive) is given,
.Nm

object archive member.
If

.Nm
searches for the file
.Pa a.out
and if present, displays the symbol
table for
.Pa a.out .
.Bl -tag -width flag

.It Fl g
Restrict display to external (global) symbols.
.It Fl n

.It Fl p
Do not sort at all.
.It Fl r

.It Fl u

Each symbol name is preceded by its value (a blank field if the symbol
is undefined) and one of the following letters:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
