# demangle(1)

Undo C++ name mangling for symbols

## NAME

demangle - Undo C++ name mangling for symbols

## SYNOPSIS

**demangle**

## DESCRIPTION

**demangle** reads a list of C++ mangled symbol names from standard input and converts these names to human-readable form on standard output.

This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

## EXAMPLE

Create a file called names containing the following mangled symbol names:

```
_ZNK6Object10metaObjectEv
_ZN8QPtrListI5ArrowE5clearEv
_ZTC4Kolf0_11KMainWindow
```

These names can then be demangled as follows:

```
example$ demangle < names
Object::metaObject() const
QPtrList<Arrow>::clear()
construction vtable for KMainWindow-in-Kolf
```
