[9fans] How does objdump sound in plan9?

[Andrew Pochinsky]

Is there a way to dump a plan9 object file into a human-readable form?
I'm looking for a sort of object format validation tool.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

is that like the sound of the one hand clapping?

[9fans] PCMCIA Modem

[Mike Fletcher]

I have a problem using a modem card on an NEC Versa SX.
aux/pcmcia identified the card as a 3CCM156B.

I put that string in the modems[] array near the beginning of
/sys/src/9/pc/pcmciamodem.c  and re-compiled 9pcdisk

ip/ppp -f -u -b b115200 -p /dev/eia1 works OK -- I manually
talk to the modem to dial out, login in to the remote sw and
start ppp there and hit ^D.  I can then ping anybody, run ssh
to my Unix hosts, hget the weather forecast, etc.

But if I try the automatic style connection with
ip/ppp -f -b b115200 -p /dev/eia1 -s usernam:secret -t atdt95551234
I get nothing.  I don't even know if the phone line goes offhook.

I have the 0327 update and all subsequent updates through 0910.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance,

Oh, that.  Sorry, 'fraid I don't have a good answer to that one.

Plan 9 object files (as you may already be aware) are quite
different to those found on other platforms.  They are
actually a form of binary assembly laguage which the
linker assembles.

What exactly are you trying to do?  It sounds vaguely
interesting.  You might want to try digging around
inside /sys/src/libmach

Well, acid takes care of a.out files, but what about .8s & Co? There seems
no way to load an object file with unresolved references into acid or
db to that matter.

Well, acid takes care of a.out files, but what about .8s & Co? There seems
no way to load an object file with unresolved references into acid or
db to that matter.

Not quite. nm prints the name list, but I'm looking for groking the
