.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \*(C+ and Java languages provide function overloading, which means
that you can write many functions with the same name, providing that
each function takes parameters of different types.  In order to be
able to distinguish these similarly named functions \*(C+ and Java
encode them into a low-level assembler name which uniquely identifies
each different version.  This process is known as \fImangling\fR. The
\&\fBc++filt\fR
[1]
program does the inverse mapping: it decodes (\fIdemangles\fR) low-level
names into user-level names so that they can be read.
.PP
Every alphanumeric word (consisting of letters, digits, underscores,
dollars, or periods) seen in the input is a potential mangled name.
If the name decodes into a \*(C+ name, the \*(C+ name replaces the
low-level name in the output, otherwise the original word is output.
In this way you can pass an entire assembler source file, containing
mangled names, through \fBc++filt\fR and see the same source file
containing demangled names.
.PP
You can also use \fBc++filt\fR to decipher individual symbols by
passing them on the command line:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&        c++filt <symbol>
.Ve
.PP
If no \fIsymbol\fR arguments are given, \fBc++filt\fR reads symbol
names from the standard input instead.  All the results are printed on
the standard output.  The difference between reading names from the
command line versus reading names from the standard input is that
command line arguments are expected to be just mangled names and no
checking is performed to separate them from surrounding text.  Thus
for example:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&        c++filt \-n _Z1fv
.Ve
.PP
will work and demangle the name to \*(L"f()\*(R" whereas:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&        c++filt \-n _Z1fv,
.Ve
.PP
will not work.  (Note the extra comma at the end of the mangled
name which makes it invalid).  This command however will work:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&        echo _Z1fv, | c++filt \-n
.Ve
.PP
and will display \*(L"f(),\*(R", i.e., the demangled name followed by a
trailing comma.  This behaviour is because when the names are read
from the standard input it is expected that they might be part of an
assembler source file where there might be extra, extraneous
characters trailing after a mangled name.  For example:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&            .type   _Z1fv, @function
.Ve

.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-_\fR" 4
.IX Item "-_"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-strip\-underscore\fR" 4
.IX Item "--strip-underscore"
.PD
On some systems, both the C and \*(C+ compilers put an underscore in front
of every name.  For example, the C name \f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR gets the low-level
name \f(CW\*(C`_foo\*(C'\fR.  This option removes the initial underscore.  Whether
\&\fBc++filt\fR removes the underscore by default is target dependent.

.IP "\fB\-\-types\fR" 4
.IX Item "--types"
.PD
Attempt to demangle types as well as function names.  This is disabled
by default since mangled types are normally only used internally in
the compiler, and they can be confused with non-mangled names.  For example,
a function called \*(L"a\*(R" treated as a mangled type name would be
demangled to \*(L"signed char\*(R".

literally, and not removed.
.Sp
Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
option in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including a
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
with a backslash.  The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
