Re: [RFC] extending bfd_print_private_bfd_data


Hi Tristan,

some formats (pe, coff, mach-o) may dump a lot of information with 'objdump -p'. This is somewhat boring
if you need only to dump a specific part of that (for example only the characteristics of a PE file).

Is it really that hard to use grep or cut to extract the information that you want ?


I would be hesitant about adding new code to the BFD library when it is not really needed.

Alternatively, is there a need for a new tool, say 'coffdump' to handle the special needs of the COFF/PE format ?

Cheers
  Nick
