I am trying to made multiple platform script for checking if binary has a debug symbols. I want a whole script be written in python. I am wondering to evoke commands like gdb or objdump. for this purpose. What are your suggestions for the efficient use of this tools?

For example objdump -g should return if there is any debug symbols, however it doesn't. Maybe someone know any API for python for checking debug symbols.

Can you use external libraries? https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools/blob/master/examples/elf_show_debug_sections.py might help. – Mark Plotnick Dec 18 '20 at 14:41

objdump `-g` is for STABS debug info, try `objdump -W`. – ssbssa Dec 31 '20 at 15:55
I am trying to do it on MacOs and as well `-g` and `-W` is not recognized as a `objdump` option – Przemekeke Jan 05 '21 at 13:55
I also noticed that after installation by qtframework installer there is no symbols in execs at all. – Przemekeke Jan 08 '21 at 12:54
