<para>The C++ language provides function overloading, which means that it is

write many functions with the same name (providing each takes parameters

assembly label (this process is known as mangling). The c++filt program
does the inverse mapping: it decodes (demangles) low-level names into
user-level names so that the linker can keep these overloaded functions
