     STRIP(1)                                                 STRIP(1)

     NAME
          strip - remove symbols and relocation bits

     SYNOPSIS
          strip [ -s ] [ -g ] [ -v ] file ...

     DESCRIPTION
          Strip removes the symbol table and relocation bits ordinar-
          ily attached to the output of the assembler and loader.
          This saves space and hampers debuggers.  Option -s of ld(1)
          does the same thing.  The options are

          -s   Squeeze the symbol table by removing duplicate informa-
               tion.

          -g   Delete line-number information, thus negating the
               effect of `cc -g'.  Implies -s.

          -v   Print size information.

     FILES
          temporary file
