Prefer assembler -l listings for library sources. Use dis for linked binaries with map context when needed.

Tool — dis (z88dk-dis)

Multi-CPU disassembler. Load map/symbol files for named labels. Use with assembler listings when you need to see expanded synthetics in library sources.

Help path

Bare invocation prints usage. Do not assume a uniform -h.

z88dk-dis -mz80 program.bin
z88dk-dis -x program.map -o 0x8000 -s 0x8000 program.bin
z88dk-dis -m8085 program.bin

Put -x map/symbol before -o / -s / -e when symbols should apply to those addresses.

CPU flags

Use the -m… form (same family as ticks/zcc): -m8080, -m8085, -mgbz80, -mz80, -mz80n, -mz180, Rabbit, kc160, ez80 modes, …

Methodology

Goal	Approach
See what linked at an address	-x prog.map + start address from the map
Check 8085 vs Z80 opcodes	Match -m to the binary
Verify synthetics in a source file	Prefer z88dk-z80asm -m8085 -l file.asm and read the .lis opcodes (for example ld a,(de+) → 1A 13)
Compare two builds	Disassemble the same range in both binaries

Assembler listing (often clearer for one module):

z88dk-z80asm -m8085 -l -o/tmp/x.o file.asm
# inspect file.lis
