+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ctfdump
+.Nd dump parts of ctf data from files
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ctfdump
+.Op Fl dfhlsSt
+.Op Fl p Ar parent
+.Op Fl u Ar outfile
+.Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility dumps and decodes the
+.Sy CTF
+data contained inside of
+.Sy ELF
+objects and raw
+.Sy CTF
+files.
+.Lp
+.Nm
+can dump information about the
+.Sy CTF header ,
+the
+.Sy labels
+encoded in the
+.Sy CTF
+container,
+the types of
+.Sy data objects ,
+the internal
+.Sy string
+table,
+the types of the return function and the arguments for
+.Sy functions ,
+and of course, it displays information about the
+.Sy types
+defined in the
+.Sy CTF
+container.
+.Lp
+.Nm
+can also be used to dump out the raw
+.Sy CTF
+data and send it to another file. When writing out data, it always
+ensures that the
+.Sy CTF
+data is decompressed. In this form, the
+.Sy CTF
+data can be inspected using
+.Nm
+and other tools such as
+.Xr mdb 1 .
+.Lp
+When no options are specified,
+.Nm
+displays all information. However, when the
+.Fl u
+option is used, then no information is displayed by default, unless
+requested through the the appropriate option.
+.Sh OPTIONS
+The following options are supported:
+.Bl -hang -width Ds
+.It Fl d
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Dump the types of symbols that correspond to objects.
+.Ed
+.It Fl f
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Dump the types of the return values and arguments of the functions.
+.Ed
+.It Fl h
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Dump the
+.Sy CTF
+header
+.Ed
+.It Fl l
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Dump all
+.Sy CTF
+labels associated with the file.
+.Ed
+.It Fl p Ar parent
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Use the type information in
+.Em parent
+to supplement output. This is useful when a
+.Nm CTF
+container has been
+.Sy uniquified
+against
+.Em parent .
+This allows
+.Nm
+to use the names of types when used with
+.Fl t .
+.Ed
+.It Fl s
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Dump the internal
+.Sy CTF
+string table
+.Ed
+.It Fl S
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Displays statistics about the
+.Sy CTF
+container.
+.Ed
+.It Fl t
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Dump the type information contained in the
+.Sy CTF
+conatiner.
+.Ed
+.It Fl u Ar outfile
+.Bd -filled -compact
+Copies the uncompressed
+.Sy CTF
+data to the file specified by
+.Em outfile .
+This can be used to make it easier to inspect the raw
+.Sy CTF
+data.
+.Ed
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Bl -inset
+.It Sy 0
+.Dl Execution completed successfully.
+.It Sy 1
+.Dl A fatal error occured.
+.It Sy 2
+.Dl Invalid command line options were specified.

+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Sy Example 1
+Displaying the Type Section of a Single File
+.Lp
+The following example dumps the type section of the file
+.Sy /usr/lib/libc.so.1 .
+.Bd -literal -offset 6n
+$ ctfdump -t /usr/lib/libc.so.1
+- Types ----------------------------------------------------

+ <3> typedef pid_t refers to 2
+ <4> unsigned int encoding=0x0 offset=0 bits=32

+.Sy Example 2
+Dumping the CTF data to Another File
+.Lp
+The following example dumps the entire CTF data from the file
+.Sy /usr/lib/libc.so.1
+and places it into the file
+.Sy ctf.out .
+This then shows how you can use the
+.Xr mdb 1
+to inspect its contents.
+.Bd -literal -offset 6n
+$ ctfdump -u ctf.out /usr/lib/libc.so.1
+$ mdb ./ctf.out
