.\" quickstrip - Discard symbols from object files. .TH rpm 8 "11 December 1995" "Digital Equipment Corp" "Linux AXP" .SH NAME \fBquickstrip\fP \- Discard symbols from object files. .SH DESCRIPTION Discards the entire symbol table from the objet file named. This is a different operation from the \fBstrip(1)\fP utility, which maintains a small amount of symbolic information. The quickstrip utility is intended to be used for stripping Linux Alpha kernels, although it works on normal Alpha executables as well. Note that the object-file transformations performed by the normal strip utility render the resulting image incompatible with the Linux Alpha bootstrap loader. .nf .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR strip (1) .nf .SH AUTHORS .nf Jim Paradis .fi
