[ About                 ](#about)\n2. [ Install               ](#install)\n3. [ Usage                 ](#usage)\n4. [ Filter public ABI     ](#filter-public-abi)\n5. [ Check for ABI changes ](#check-for-abi-changes)\n\nAbout\n-----\n\nThe tool is intended to be used with ABI Compliance Checker tool for tracking\nABI changes of a C/C++ library or kernel module: https://github.com/lvc/abi-compliance-checker\n\nThe tool is developed by Andrey Ponomarenko.\n\nInstall\n-------\n\n    sudo make install prefix=/usr\n\n###### Requires\n\n* Perl 5\n* Elfutils (eu-readelf)\n* GNU Binutils\n* Universal Ctags (https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags)\n* Vtable Dumper \u003e= 1.1 (https://github.com/lvc/vtable-dumper)\n* ABI Compliance Checker \u003e= 2.2 (https://github.com/lvc/abi-compliance-checker)\n* GCC C++\n\nUsage\n-----\n\nInput objects should be compiled with `-g -Og -fno-eliminate-unused-debug-types` additional options to contain DWARF debug info.\n\n    abi-dumper libTest.so -o ABI.dump\n    abi-dumper Module.ko.debug\n\n###### Examples\n\n    abi-dumper lib/libssh.so.3\n    abi-dumper drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko.debug\n\n###### Docker\n\nYou can try Docker image if the tool is not packaged for your Linux distribution (example for Harfbuzz):\n\n    FROM ebraminio/abi-dumper\n    RUN apt update \u0026\u0026 \\\n        apt install -y ragel cpanminus \u0026\u0026 \\\n        git clone https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz \u0026\u0026 cd harfbuzz \u0026\u0026 \\\n            CFLAGS=\"-Og -g\" CXXFLAGS=\"-Og -g\" ./autogen.sh \u0026\u0026 make \u0026\u0026 cd .. \u0026\u0026 \\\n        abi-dumper `find . -name \u0027libharfbuzz.so.0.*\u0027` \u0026\u0026 \\\n        cpanm JSON \u0026\u0026 \\\n        perl -le \u0027use JSON; print to_json(do shift, {canonical =\u003e 1, pretty =\u003e 1});\u0027 ./ABI.dump \u003e ABI.json\n\n###### Adv. usage\n\n  For advanced usage, see output of `--help` option.\n\nFilter public ABI\n-----------------\n\n    abi-dumper libTest.so -public-headers PATH\n\nPATH \u2014 path to the install tree of a library.\n\nCheck for ABI",
