@c This file contains the entry for the --ctf, --ctf-parent, --ctf-symbols, -and
@c --ctf-strings options that are common to both readelf and objdump.

@item --ctf[=@var{section}]
@cindex CTF
@cindex Compact Type Format

Display the contents of the specified CTF section.  CTF sections themselves
contain many subsections, all of which are displayed in order.

By default, display the name of the section named @var{.ctf}, which is the
name emitted by @command{ld}.

@item --ctf-parent=@var{member}

If the CTF section contains ambiguously-defined types, it will consist
of an archive of many CTF dictionaries, all inheriting from one
dictionary containing unambiguous types.  This member is by default
named @var{.ctf}, like the section containing it, but it is possible to
change this name using the @code{ctf_link_set_memb_name_changer}
function at link time.  When looking at CTF archives that have been
created by a linker that uses the name changer to rename the parent
archive member, @option{--ctf-parent} can be used to specify the name
used for the parent.

@item --ctf-parent-section=@var{section}

This option lets you pick a completely different section for the CTF
parent dictionary containing unambiguous types than for the child
dictionaries that contain the ambiguous remainder.  The linker does
not emit ELF objects structured like this, but some third-party linkers
may.  It's also convenient to inspect CTF written out as multiple raw
files to compose them with objcopy, which can put them in different
ELF sections but not in different members of a single CTF dict.
