The ARM Object Format Decoder (decaof)

The ARM Object Format (AOF) file decoder, decaof, is a tool which decodes AOF files, such as those produced by armasm and armcc.

Command line options

The format of the decaof command is:

decaof [-options] <file> [file ...]

options consists of a string of letters, which have the following meaning:

--------------------------------------------------------
Option   |Description                                   
--------------------------------------------------------
h or help|gives on-line details of the decaof command;  
--------------------------------------------------------
b        |(brief) prints only the area declarations;    
--------------------------------------------------------
a        |prints area contents in hex (and implicitly   
         |includes -d);                                 
--------------------------------------------------------
d        |prints area declarations;                     
--------------------------------------------------------
r        |prints relocation directives (and implicitly  
         |includes -d);                                 
--------------------------------------------------------
c        |disassembles code areas (and implicitly       
         |includes -d);                                 
--------------------------------------------------------
g        |prints debug areas formatted readably;        
--------------------------------------------------------
s        |prints symbol tables;                         
--------------------------------------------------------
t        |prints string tables.                         
--------------------------------------------------------

If no options are specified, the effect is of -dst.

Each file should be an AOF file, otherwise decaof will complain.
