I had to install elfutils as Systemtap requires it. This is what I see from the help of nm (elfutils) ... % nm --help | grep -e "\-p" -e "\-g" -g, --extern-only Display only external symbols -s, --print-armap Include index for symbols from archive members -A, --print-file-name Print name of the input file before every symbol -P, --portability Same as --format=posix -S, --print-size Print size of defined symbols -p, --no-sort Do not sort the symbols Is this the information that you needed / you want me to run any other specific command with elfutils nm to see the output?
