title: What does "symbol value" from nm command mean?
body: <p>When you list the symbol table of a static library, like <code>nm mylib.a</code>, what does the 8 digit hex that show up next to each symbol mean? Is that the relative location of each symbol in the code?</p>
  
  <p>Also, can multiple symbols have the same symbol value? Is there something wrong with a bunchof different symbols all having the symbol value of 00000000?</p>
