ft_nm is a re-implementation of nm, GNU utility for listing ELF-file symbol tables. It behaves almost exactly like a regular nm, with support for:

• -h, -V, -a, -g, -u, -r, -p flags
• reading ELF object and executable files

For more information refer to man 1 nm.

This project is made for 42 advanced core curriculum and follows general guidelines for C/C++ projects.

Project is completely dependent only on:

• C Standard Library.
• libft - 42network's C standard library.

For compilation there's GNU Makefile providing following rules:

• make all - standard rule for performing all the compilation steps
• make re - rule for re-compiling whole project (including dependencies)
• make clean - rule for removing all the compilation artifacts
• make fclean - ruke for removing all the compilation results (artifacts + binaries)

To compile the project you can simply type:

$ make all

GNU Makefile provides a simple testing rule: make test. It's role is to test our ft_nm output with standard nm output. If output matches one-to-one then everything works fine. If output doesn't match then probably this project isn't implemented correctly and requires solid re-evaluation.

You can test the project against the ft_nm binary itself by simply typing:

$ make test

You can also test the project against any other binary on the system by typing:

$ make test TEST_FILES={ file(s) }

To test the project against certain options type:

$ make test TEST_FLAGS={ flag(s) }

Lastly, you can freely mix those options together:

$ make test TEST_FLAGS={ flag(s) } TEST_FILES={ file(s) }
