Linux command for showing the segments of a program
 
Hi,

Could you tell me the Linux command for showing the different segments of a program. The output of the command should show me which elements go to stack, heap, and data segments.

Have a look at the man page for readelf.

Code:
$ readelf.exe  -a test_structure.o
readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start

I got the error like this when i gave the object file as input to readelf command. (I am running the linux command using Cygwin in Windows).

If it was created with Cygwin, it won't be a Linux object file. Have a look at the man page for objdump, see if that works. Can't think of anything else.
