Parse static library like nm command?

[zchrissirhcz]

Hi, LIEF developers

I'm just new to LIEF, from searching the word linux python nm in Google search.

As illustrated in https://github.com/lief-project/LIEF/blob/master/examples/python/nm.py , I can use this script to parse and dump symbols in:

• .so, the shared library file
• a.out, the executable, i.e. the ELF format file

But it just failed to process an static library file on linux, i.e. the libxxx.a file.

Actually I'm just wondering if there's any tools I can use, to detect conflicted symbols in one or many static library files, especially on linux. The shell command nm can dump symbols with types, and a python like tool may make this detection and report easier.
