  "github_readme_excerpt": "# `cargo-binutils`\n\n\u003e Cargo subcommands to invoke the LLVM tools shipped with the Rust toolchain\n\n**NOTE** This is **not** an official Rust project.\n\nThis project is developed and maintained by the [Embedded WG Tools team][team].\n\n## Features\n\n- All Rust symbols in the output of the LLVM tools are automatically demangled.\n- No need to pass the path to the artifact as an argument if using the tool in\n  \"build and inspect\" mode.\n\n## Installation\n\n``` console\n$ cargo install cargo-binutils\n\n$ rustup component add llvm-tools\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nThis:\n\n``` console\n$ rust-$tool ${args[@]}\n```\n\nis basically sugar for:\n\n``` console\n$ $(find $(rustc --print sysroot) -name llvm-$tool) ${args[@]}\n```\n\nApart from these `rust-*` tools, which are direct proxies for the llvm tools in\nthe `llvm-tools` component, the crate also provides some Cargo\nsubcommands that will first build the project and then run the llvm tool on the\noutput artifact. This:\n\n``` console\n$ cargo size --example foo\n```\n\nis sugar for:\n\n``` console\n$ cargo build --example foo\n$ rust-size target/examples/foo\n```\n\nThese commands take similar options to `cargo build` and you can specify\na specific binary with `--bin NAME`, an example with `--example NAME`\nor the default binary by not passing `--bin` or `--example`.\n\nIn the case of `cargo-objdump` the architecture of the compilation target is\npassed as `-arch-name=$target` to `llvm-objdump`. `-arch-name` specifies to\nwhich architecture disassemble the object file to.\n\nYou can get more information about the CLI of each tool by running `rust-$tool\n -help`.\n\nAll the Cargo subcommands accept a `--verbose` / `-v` flag. In verbose mode the\n`rust-$tool` invocation will be printed to stderr.\n\nBuild and inspect mode: Some subcommands accept the flags: `--bin`, `--example`,\n`--lib`, `--target` and `--release`. These can be used to make the subcommand\nfirst build the respective binary, example or library and have the path to the\nartifact be automatically passed to the LLVM tool. Th",
