SYNOPSIS
llvm-pdbutil [subcommand] [options]
DESCRIPTION
Display types, symbols, CodeView records, and other information from a PDB file, as well as manipulate and create PDB files. llvm-pdbutil is normally used by FileCheck-based tests to test LLVM\(aqs PDB reading and writing functionality, but can also be used for general PDB file investigation and forensics, or as a replacement for cvdump.
SUBCOMMANDS
llvm-pdbutil is separated into several subcommands each tailored to a different purpose. A brief summary of each command follows, with more detail in the sections that follow. NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 NDENT 0.0
\(bu 2
\%pretty - Dump symbol and type information in a format that tries to look as much like the original source code as possible.
\(bu 2
\%dump - Dump low level types and structures from the PDB file, including CodeView records, hash tables, PDB streams, etc.
\(bu 2
\%bytes - Dump data from the PDB file\(aqs streams, records, types, symbols, etc as raw bytes.
\(bu 2
\%yaml2pdb - Given a yaml description of a PDB file, produce a valid PDB file that matches that description.
\(bu 2
\%pdb2yaml - For a given PDB file, produce a YAML description of some or all of the file in a way that the PDB can be reconstructed.
\(bu 2
\%merge - Given two PDBs, produce a third PDB that is the result of merging the two input PDBs. NINDENT NINDENT NINDENT
pretty
IMPORTANT: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 The pretty subcommand is built on the Windows DIA SDK, and as such is not supported on non-Windows platforms. NINDENT NINDENT USAGE: llvm-pdbutil pretty [options] <input PDB file>
Summary
The pretty subcommand displays a very high level representation of your program\(aqs debug info. Since it is built on the Windows DIA SDK which is the standard API that Windows tools and debuggers query debug information, it presents a more authoritative view of how a debugger is going to interpret your debug information than a mode which displays low-level CodeView records.
Options
Filtering and Sorting Options
NOTE: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 exclude filters take priority over include filters. So if a filter matches both an include and an exclude rule, then it is excluded. NINDENT NINDENT NDENT 0.0

dump
USAGE: llvm-pdbutil dump [options] <input PDB file>
Summary
The dump subcommand displays low level information about the structure of a PDB file. It is used heavily by LLVM\(aqs testing infrastructure, but can also be used for PDB forensics. It serves a role similar to that of Microsoft\(aqs cvdump tool. NOTE: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5 The dump subcommand exposes internal details of the file format. As such, the reader should be familiar with \%The PDB File Format before using this command. NINDENT NINDENT

-type-extras Dump additional information from the TPI stream, such as hashes and the type index offsets array. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-type-data For each type record dumped, display the full bytes of the record in binary as well. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-type-index=<uint> Only dump types with the specified type index. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

For example, if type index 0x4000 is a function whose return type has index 0x3000, and you specify -dependents=0x4000, then this would dump both records (as well as any other dependents in the tree). NINDENT

Miscellaneous Options
NDENT 0.0

-all Implies most other options. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-section-contribs Dump section contributions. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-section-headers Dump image section headers. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-string-table Dump PDB string table. NINDENT

bytes
USAGE: llvm-pdbutil bytes [options] <input PDB file>
Summary
Like the dump subcommand, the bytes subcommand displays low level information about the structure of a PDB file, but it is used for even deeper forensics. The bytes subcommand finds various structures in a PDB file based on the command line options specified, and dumps them in hex. Someone working on support for emitting PDBs would use this heavily, for example, to compare one PDB against another PDB to ensure byte-for-byte compatibility. It is not enough to simply compare the bytes of an entire file, or an entire stream because it\(aqs perfectly fine for the same structure to exist at different locations in two different PDBs, and \(dqfinding\(dq the structure is half the battle.

NDENT 0.0

-block-range=<start[-end]> Dump binary data from specified range of MSF file blocks. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-byte-range=<start[-end]> Dump binary data from specified range of bytes in the file. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-fpm Dump the MSF free page map. NINDENT NDENT 0.0
