strip
STRIP(1) BSD General Commands Manual STRIP(1)
NAME
strip -- discard information from ELF objects
SYNOPSIS
strip [-d | -g | -S | --strip-debug] [-h | --help] [--only-keep-debug] [-o outputfile | --output-file=outputfile] [-p | --preserve-dates]
[-s | --strip-all] [--strip-unneeded] [-w | --wildcard] [-x | --discard-all] [-I format | --input-target=format]
[-K symbol | --keep-symbol=symbol] [-N symbol | --strip-symbol=symbol] [-O format | --output-target=format]
[-R sectionname | --remove-section=sectionname] [-V | --version] [-X | --discard-locals] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The strip utility is used to discard information from ELF objects.
The strip utility supports the following options:
-d | -g | -S | --strip-debug
Remove debugging symbols only.
-h | --help
Print a help message and exit.
--only-keep-debug
Remove all content except that which would be used for debugging.
-o outputfile | --output-file=outputfile
Write the stripped object to file outputfile. The default behaviour is to modify objects in place.
-p | --preserve-dates
Preserve the object's access and modification times.
-s | --strip-all
Remove all symbols.
--strip-unneeded
Remove all symbols not needed for further relocation processing.
-w | --wildcard
Use shell-style patterns to name symbols. The following meta-characters are recognized in patterns:
! If this is the first character of the pattern, invert the sense of the pattern match.
* Matches any string of characters in a symbol name.
? Matches zero or one character in a symbol name.
[ Mark the start of a character class.
Remove the special meaning of the next character in the pattern.
] Mark the end of a character class.
-x | --discard-all
Discard all non-global symbols.
-I format | --input-target=format
These options are accepted, but are ignored.
-K symbol | --keep-symbol=symbol
Keep the symbol symbol even if it would otherwise be stripped. This option may be specified multiple times.
-N symbol | --strip-symbol=symbol
Remove the symbol symbol even if it would otherwise have been kept. This option may be specified multiple times.
-O format | --output-target=format
Set the output file format to format. For the full list of supported formats, please see the documentation for function
elftc_bfd_find_target(3).
-R sectionname | --remove-section=sectionname
Remove the section named by the argument sectionname. This option may be specified multiple times.
-V | --version
Print a version identifier and exit.
-X | --discard-locals
Remove compiler-generated local symbols.
DIAGNOSTICS
The strip utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
