13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
Ingo Molnar0b73da32009-06-06 15:48:52 +020015This command reads the input file and displays an annotated version of the
16code. If the object file has debug symbols then the source code will be
17displayed alongside assembly code.
18
19If there is no debug info in the object, then annotated assembly is displayed.
