I would expect something like:
objdump -h -j .data /bin/ls
would dump only the header info of the .data section...it seems to dump all
sections
I have a patch (with respect to the recent snapshot of 2.19.51) which does
does:
leis...@asus:/usr/local/obj/binutils-2.19.51/binutils$ ./objdump -h -j .data
/bin/ls
/bin/ls: file format elf64-x86-64
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
23 .data 000001d0 000000000061a2e0 000000000061a2e0 0001a2e0 2**5
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
which I expect.
(I don't see how to add a patch yet to a bug)
