DESCRIPTION
GNU `strip' discards all symbols from object files obj
file. The list of object files may include archives. At
least one object file must be given.
`strip' modifies the files named in its argument, rather
than writing modified copies under different names.
OPTIONS
`-F bfdname'
`--target=bfdname'
Treat the original objfile as a file with the object
code format bfdname, and rewrite it in the same for
mat.
`--help'
Show a summary of the options to `strip' and exit.
`-I bfdname '
`--input-target=bfdname'
Treat the original objfile as a file with the object
code format bfdname.
`-O bfdname'
`--output-target=bfdname'
Replace objfile with a file in the output format bfd
name.
`-R sectionname'
`--remove-section=sectionname'
Remove any section named sectionname from the output
file. This option may be given more than once. Note
that using this option inappropriately may make the
output file unusable.
`--strip-all'
Remove all symbols.
`-g'
`-S'
`--strip-debug'
Remove debugging symbols only.
`--strip-unneeded'
Remove all symbols that are not needed for relocation
processing.
`-K symbolname'
`--keep-symbol=symbolname'
Keep only symbol symbolname from the source file.
This option may be given more than once.
`-N symbolname'
`--strip-symbol=symbolname'
Remove symbol symbolname from the source file. This
option may be given more than once, and may be com
bined with strip options other than `-K'.
`-o file'
Put the stripped output in file, rather than replacing
the existing file. When this argument is used, only
one objfile argument may be specified.
`-p'
`--preserve-dates'
Preserve the access and modification dates of the
file.
`-x'
`--discard-all'
Remove non-global symbols.
`-X'
`--discard-locals'
