            Bug ID: 24767
           Summary: nm documentation: 'n' symbol type not explained
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.32
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jengelh at inai dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

nm is able to emit "n"-type symbols (x86_64).

0000000000000000 n wm4.unistd.h.213.4c582e35260d661b081322974b7c1e74
0000000000000000 n wm4.unistd.h.23.a608ae63b1bee638e80d9e2a8598bd8e

However, "n" is never explained in binutils/doc/binutils.texi. The only
mentions are

        * syms.c (decode_section_type): Return 'n' if section flags are
        SEC_HAS_CONTENTS && SEC_READONLY.

syms.c:
  if (section->flags & SEC_DEBUGGING)
    return 'N';
  if ((section->flags & SEC_HAS_CONTENTS) && (section->flags & SEC_READONLY))
    return 'n';
