NAME
strip - Discard symbols from object files.
SYNOPSIS
strip [-F bfdname | --target=bfdname] [-I bfdname | --input-target=bfdname] [-O bfdname | --output-target=bfdname] [-R sectionname | --remove-section=sectionname] [-s | --strip-all] [-S | -g | -d | --strip-debug] [--strip-unneeded] [-x | --discard-all] [-X | --discard-locals] [-K symbolname | --keep-symbol=symbolname] [-N symbolname | --strip-symbol=symbolname] [-o file] [-p | --preserve-dates] [-v | --verbose] [-V | --version] [-V | --help] objfile...
DESCRIPTION
GNU strip discards all symbols from the object files objfile. The list of object files may include archives. At least one object file must be given. strip modifies the files named in its argument, rather than writing modified copies under different names.
OPTIONS
-F bfdname --target=bfdname Treat the original objfile as a file with the object code format bfdname, and rewrite it in the same format. --help Show a summary of the options to strip and exit. -I bfdname --input-target=bfdname Treat the original objfile as a file with the object code format bfdname. -O bfdname --output-target=bfdname Replace objfile with a file in the output format bfdname. Free Software Foundation 5 November 1991 1 strip(1) GNU Development Tools strip(1) -R sectionname --remove-section=sectionname Remove the named section from the file. This option may be given more than once. Note that using this option inappropriately may make the object file unusable. -s --strip-all Remove all symbols. -S -g -d --strip-debug Remove debugging symbols only. --strip-unneeded Strip all symbols that are not needed for relocation processing. -N symbolname --strip-symbol=symbolname Remove symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once, and may be combined with other strip options. -o file Put the stripped output in file, rather than replacing the existing file. When this argument is used, only one objfile argument may be specified. -p --preserve-dates Preserve the access and modification dates of the file. -x Free Software Foundation 5 November 1991 2 strip(1) GNU Development Tools strip(1) --discard-all Remove non-global symbols. -X --discard-locals Remove compiler-generated local symbols. (These usually start with ``L'' or ``.''.) -K symbolname, --keep-symbol=symbolname Copy only symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once. -N symbolname, --strip-symbol=symbolname Do not copy symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once, and may be combined with strip options other than -K. -v --verbose Verbose output: list all object files modified. In the case of archives, strip -v lists all members of the archive. -V --version Show the version number for strip and exit.
