STRIP(1) STRIP(1) NAME strip - remove symbols and relocation bits SYNOPSIS strip [ -s ] [ -g ] [ -v ] name ... DESCRIPTION Strip removes the symbol table and relocation bits ordinar- ily attached to the output of the assembler and loader. This is useful to save space after a program has been debugged. If -s is specified, the symbol table is compressed by remov- ing duplicate structure definitions and symbol table entries; no information is lost. If -g is specified, all line-number information is deleted, thus inverting the effect of `cc -g'; -s compression is performed as well. The -v flag prints out size information. If no flags are given, strip removes the symbol table entirely; this is the same as use of the -s option of ld(1). FILES shrink? temporary file SEE ALSO cc(1), ld(1)
