ptx
ptx is a command line tool available in UNIX-like operating systems that displays the contents of a given input file in an organized and formatted manner. It is particularly useful for viewing the contents of binary files, especially those containing program executables or compiled object code. ptx operates by analyzing the structure of the input file and presenting the extracted information in a table-like format. The tool can display various details about each symbol, such as its name, type, and position within the file. ptx can also perform powerful analysis on symbol tables, enabling users to browse the code’s structure and understand its components. Additionally, it supports various options, allowing for customized output and specific symbol filtering.
