8Display the contents of the specified CTF section.  CTF sections themselves
9contain many subsections, all of which are displayed in order.

11By default, display the name of the section named @var{.ctf}, which is the
12name emitted by @command{ld}.

16If the CTF section contains ambiguously-defined types, it will consist
17of an archive of many CTF dictionaries, all inheriting from one
18dictionary containing unambiguous types.  This member is by default
19named @var{.ctf}, like the section containing it, but it is possible to
20change this name using the @code{ctf_link_set_memb_name_changer}
21function at link time.  When looking at CTF archives that have been
22created by a linker that uses the name changer to rename the parent
23archive member, @option{--ctf-parent} can be used to specify the name
24used for the parent.
