go tool nm
and a similar tool from linux nm
, but I agree, there should be a better name for it.
If you say that tool will primarily be used by people who know what go tool nm
and linux nm
are, then keeping the name nm
has value. For newcomers, docs should be helpful and explicit.
The target is to make nm
more helpful rather than just outputting the raw information. I think there's no good argument in why to keep calling it nm
. While I was writing it, I just couldn't figure out a better name.
I just realized that it could be called weight
similarly to goweight
tool.
From the list of subcommands,
nm
is the one which could have a more intuitive name. Depending on future developments I would recommendbinary
ormemory
as a replacement.
