            Bug ID: 22250
           Summary: readelf should support --dwarf-start and --dwarf-depth
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tools
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tromey at sourceware dot org
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

objdump supports --dwarf-start and --dwarf-depth options.
--dwarf-start specifies the DIE at which to begin dumping.
--dwarf-depth specifies how many levels down to print; if
there are more levels it just prints "...", like:

These are handy for investigating large files with dwarf-mode that
is in binutils.
