Useful commands

Things you’ll probably forget and want a reminder for:

• Look at the contents of any file

    hexdump -C filename
  

• Compile a C program

    gcc -Wall -Werror -g -o [executable-name] [source-file.c ...]
  

  (we will add some other command-line options later in the term).

• Compile a C file to an object module (this produces “source-file.o”)

    gcc -Wall -Werror -g -c source-file.c
  

• Translate an executable or object module to assembly language

    objdump -d obj-module
