strip

strip(1)						      General Commands Manual							  strip(1)

NAME

       strip - Removes symbols and relocation bits

SYNOPSIS

       strip [-V] file...

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       strip:  XCU5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS

       [SVID 3]  Displays the version number of the strip command.

DESCRIPTION

       The strip command removes the symbol table and any strippable subsections of the section, including compact relocation information ordinar-
       ily present in executable files. This is useful to save space after a program has been debugged.

       The effect of strip is the same as use of the -s option to cc, c89, or ld.

       Note that the strip command will not strip executables with unresolved relocation entries. It also does not handle archive files.

EXIT STATUS

       Success.  An error occurred.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the behavior of strip: Provides a default value for the locale category variables that  are  not
       set  or	null.  If set, overrides the values of all other locale variables.  Determines the locale for the interpretation of byte sequences
       as characters (single-byte or multibyte) in input parameters and files.	Determines the locale used to affect the format  and  contents	of
       diagnostic  messages  displayed by the command.	Determines the location of message catalogs for processing of LC_MESSAGES.  Determines the
       directory where a temporary file will be created (if needed). If not set, the current working directory is used.
