"""A tool to inspect the binary size of a built binary file.
This script prints out a tree of symbols and their corresponding sizes, using
Linux's nm functionality.
Usage:
python binary_size.py -- \
--target=/path/to/your/target/binary \
[--nm_command=/path/to/your/custom/nm] \
[--max_depth=10] [--min_size=1024] \
[--color] \
To assist visualization, pass in '--color' to make the symbols color coded to
green, assuming that you have a xterm connection that supports color.
