The ARM Object Format Decoder (decaof)
--------------------------------------


About decaof
............

The ARM Object Format (AOF) file decoder, <decaof>, as its name suggests, is 
tool which decodes AOF files, such as those produced by <armasm> and <armcc>.  
For a synopsis of AOF see section "<ARM Object Format>" of 
the Reference Manual. The full specification of AOF can be found in chapter "
<ARM Object Format>" of the Technical Specifications.


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:

    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.
