39 discards all symbols from the object files
41 The list of object files may include archives.
42 At least one object file must be given.
46 modifies the files named in its argument,
47 rather than writing modified copies under different names.
53 .B "\-\-target=\fIbfdname"
54 Treat the original \fIobjfile\fP as a file with the object
55 code format \fIbfdname\fP, and rewrite it in the same format.
59 Show a summary of the options to
66 .B "\-\-input\-target=\fIbfdname"
67 Treat the original \fIobjfile\fP as a file with the object
68 code format \fIbfdname\fP.
71 .B "\-O \fIbfdname\fP"
73 .B "\-\-output\-target=\fIbfdname"
74 Replace \fIobjfile\fP with a file in the output format \fIbfdname\fP.
77 .B "\-R \fIsectionname\fP"
79 .B "\-\-remove\-section=\fIsectionname"
80 Remove the named section from the file. This option may be given more
81 than once. Note that using this option inappropriately may make the
96 Remove debugging symbols only.
99 .B \-\-strip\-unneeded
100 Strip all symbols that are not needed for relocation processing.
103 .B \-N \fIsymbolname\fR
105 .B \-\-strip\-symbol=\fIsymbolname
106 Remove symbol \fIsymbolname\fP from the source file. This option
107 may be given more than once, and may be combined with other strip
112 Put the stripped output in \fIfile\fR, rather than replacing the
113 existing file. When this argument is used, only one \fIobjfile\fR
114 argument may be specified.
120 Remove non-global symbols.
125 .B \-\-discard\-locals
126 Remove compiler-generated local symbols.
127 (These usually start with ``L'' or ``.''.)
130 .B \-K \fIsymbolname\fR, \fB\-\-keep\-symbol=\fIsymbolname
131 Copy only symbol \fIsymbolname\fP from the source file. This option
132 may be given more than once.
135 .B \-N \fIsymbolname\fR, \fB\-\-strip\-symbol=\fIsymbolname
136 Do not copy symbol \fIsymbolname\fP from the source file. This option
137 may be given more than once, and may be combined with strip options
138 other than \fB\-K\fR.
144 Verbose output: list all object files modified. In the case of
147 lists all members of the archive.
153 Show the version number for \fBstrip\fP and exit.
