Common
z88dk-z80nm path/to/file.o

Always pair with app .map after link (zcc -m).
Condensed reference (from wiki / tree)
Tool — z80nm (z88dk-z80nm)
List symbols and contents of a z80asm object or library file. Use it to prove a routine is actually in the .lib or .o you think you linked.
Help path
There is no useful -h. Pass a library or object:
z88dk-z80nm library.lib
z88dk-z80nm -a library.lib
z88dk-z80nm path/to/file.o
Flags
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
-a | Show all |
-l | Show local symbols |
-e | Show expression patches |
-c | Show code dump |
Methodology: link proof
After a library rebuild or a “this patch should help” claim:
z88dk-z80nm lib/clibs/math32_8085.lib | rg 'f32_fsadd|your_symbol'
z88dk-z80nm lib/clibs/8085_crt0.lib | rg long_div
Also check the program map from zcc … -m:
rg 'your_symbol' prog.map
| Outcome | Meaning |
|---|---|
Symbol in .lib and in .map | Linked; can affect TIMER |
Symbol in .lib only | Not pulled into this binary (no call / weak / wrong lib path) |
| Symbol in neither | Rebuild did not install what you think, or wrong name |
Confirm CPU and section sizes in the nm listing when multi-CPU libraries sit side by side (math32.lib vs math32_8085.lib).
