CRUNCHIDE(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					      CRUNCHIDE(1)

NAME
     crunchide -- hides symbol names from ld, for crunching programs together

SYNOPSIS
     crunchide [-f keep-list-file] [-k keep-symbol] [object-file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The crunchide utility hides the global symbols of object-file such that they are ignored by subsequent runs of the linker, ld(1).	Some sym-
     bols may be left visible via the -k keep-symbol and -f keep-list-file options.  The keep-list-file must contain a list of symbols to keep
     visible, one symbol per line.  The names given by keep-symbol or in keep-list-file should be C names.  For example, to keep the C function
     ``foo'' visible, the option ``-k foo'' should be used.

     The crunchide utility is designed as a companion program for crunchgen(1), which automates the process of creating crunched binaries from
     multiple component programs.
