.SH "NAME"
cxxfilt \- Demangle \*(C+ and Java symbols.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
c++filt [ \-_ | --strip-underscores ]
        [ \-j | --java ]
	[ \-n | --no-strip-underscores ]
        [ \-s \fIformat\fR | --format=\fIformat\fR ]
        [ --help ]  [ --version ]  [ \fIsymbol\fR... ]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The \*(C+ and Java languages provides function overloading, which means
that you can write many functions with the same name (providing each
takes parameters of different types).  All \*(C+ and Java function names
are encoded into a low-level assembly label (this process is known as
\fImangling\fR). The \f(CWc++filt\fR
[1]
program does the inverse mapping: it decodes (\fIdemangles\fR) low-level
names into user-level names so that the linker can keep these overloaded
functions from clashing.
.PP
Every alphanumeric word (consisting of letters, digits, underscores,
dollars, or periods) seen in the input is a potential label.  If the
label decodes into a \*(C+ name, the \*(C+ name replaces the low-level
name in the output.
.PP
You can use \f(CWc++filt\fR to decipher individual symbols:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&        
\&        c++filt I<symbol>
.Ve
If no \fIsymbol\fR arguments are given, \f(CWc++filt\fR reads symbol
names from the standard input and writes the demangled names to the
standard output.  All results are printed on the standard output.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.Ip "\f(CW-_\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--strip-underscores\fR" 4
On some systems, both the C and \*(C+ compilers put an underscore in front
of every name.  For example, the C name \f(CWfoo\fR gets the low-level
name \f(CW_foo\fR.  This option removes the initial underscore.  Whether
\f(CWc++filt\fR removes the underscore by default is target dependent.
.Ip "\f(CW-j\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--java\fR" 4
Prints demangled names using Java syntax.  The default is to use \*(C+
syntax.
.Ip "\f(CW-n\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--no-strip-underscores\fR" 4
Do not remove the initial underscore.
.Ip "\f(CW-s \fIformat\fR\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--format=\fIformat\fR\fR" 4
\s-1GNU\s0 \f(CWnm\fR can decode three different methods of mangling, used by
different \*(C+ compilers.  The argument to this option selects which
method it uses:
.Ip "\f(CWgnu\fR" 8
the one used by the \s-1GNU\s0 compiler (the default method)
.Ip "\f(CWlucid\fR" 8
the one used by the Lucid compiler
.Ip "\f(CWarm\fR" 8
the one specified by the \*(C+ Annotated Reference Manual
.Ip "\f(CWhp\fR" 8
the one used by the \s-1HP\s0 compiler
.Ip "\f(CWedg\fR" 8
the one used by the \s-1EDG\s0 compiler
.Ip "\f(CWgnu-new-abi\fR" 8
the one used by the \s-1GNU\s0 compiler with the new \s-1ABI\s0.
.Ip "\f(CW--help\fR" 4
Print a summary of the options to \f(CWc++filt\fR and exit.
.Ip "\f(CW--version\fR" 4
Print the version number of \f(CWc++filt\fR and exit.
.SH "FOOTNOTES"
.Ip "1." 4
\s-1MS\s0\-\s-1DOS\s0 does not allow \f(CW+\fR characters in file names, so on
\s-1MS\s0\-\s-1DOS\s0 this program is named \f(CWcxxfilt\fR.
