Anyone know the nm command?

Can someone tell me the difference between the .a and .so libraries that 'make' makes, and what the nm command tells you about the library? (what do the letters mean - does 'U' mean not compiled in?)

The *.a libs are static and *.so are shared...nm utility lists symbols from objects in the libs/files...I don't know what U stands for, perhaps man nm will tell you more.Hope this helps.
