"""Runs nm on specified .a and .o file, plus some analysis.
CollectAliasesByAddress():
Runs nm on the elf to collect all symbol names. This reveals symbol names of

CollectAliasesByAddressAsync():
Runs CollectAliasesByAddress in a subprocess and returns a promise.

BulkForkAndCall() target: Runs nm on a .a file or a list of .o files, parses
