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.

object recognition.
