size - list section sizes and total size.


SYNOPSIS

       size [ -A | -B | --format=compatibility ]
            [ --help ]  [ -d | -o | -x | --radix=number ]
            [ --target=bfdname ]  [ -V | --version ]
            [ objfile... ]


DESCRIPTION

       The  GNU  `size' utility lists the section sizes---and the
       total size---for each of the object or archive files  obj­
       file in its argument list.  By default, one line of output
       is generated for each object file or  each  module  in  an
       archive.

       objfile...  are  the object files to be examined.  If none
       are specified, the file `a.out' will be used.


OPTIONS

       The command line options have the following meanings:

       `-A'

       `-B'

       `--format=compatibility'
           Using one of these options, you can choose whether the
           output  from GNU `size' resembles output from System V
           `size'  (using  -A,  or  --format=sysv),  or  Berkeley
           `size'  (using -B, or --format=berkeley).  The default
           is the one-line format similar to Berkeley's.

           Here is an example of the Berkeley (default) format of
           output from `size':

                   $ size --format=Berkeley ranlib size
                   text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
                   294880  81920   11592   388392  5ed28   ranlib
                   294880  81920   11888   388688  5ee50   size

           This  is the same data, but displayed closer to System
           V conventions:

                   $ size --format=SysV ranlib size
                   ranlib  :
                   section         size         addr
                   .text         294880         8192
                   .data          81920       303104
                   .bss           11592       385024
                   Total         388392

                   section         size         addr
                   .text         294880         8192
                   .data          81920       303104
                   .bss           11888       385024
                   Total         388688

       `--help'
           Show a summary of acceptable arguments and options.

       `-d'

       `-o'

       `-x'

       `--radix=number'
           Using one of these options, you  can  control  whether
           the  size  of each section is given in decimal (-d, or
           --radix=10); octal (-o, or --radix=8); or  hexadecimal
           (-x,  or  --radix=16).   In  --radix=number,  only the
           three values (8, 10, 16)  are  supported.   The  total
           size  is always given in two radices; decimal and hex­
           adecimal for -d or -x output, or octal and hexadecimal
           if you're using -o.

       `--target=bfdname'
           Specify  that  the  object-code  format for objfile is
           bfdname.  This option may not be necessary; `size' can
           automatically recognize many formats.

       `-V'

       `--version'
           Display the version number of `size'.
