The GNU Binary Utilities, or binutils, is a collection of programming tools maintained by the GNU Project for working with executable code including assembly, linking and many other development operations.

The tools are originally from Cygnus Solutions.

The tools are typically used along with other GNU tools such as GNU Compiler Collection, and the GNU Debugger.

addr2line convert address to file and line
ar create, modify, and extract from archives

dlltool creation of Windows dynamic-link libraries
gold alternative linker for ELF files
gprof profiler

nlmconv object file conversion to a NetWare Loadable Module
nm list symbols exported by object files
objcopy copy object files, possibly making changes
objdump dump information about object files
ranlib generate indices for archives (for compatibility; same as ar -s)

size list section sizes and total size of binary files
strings list printable strings
