strip discards all symbols from the object files objfile. 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.
- -F bfdname
- --target=bfdname
- Treat the
original objfile as a file with the object code format bfdname, and rewrite
it in the same format.
- --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 bfdname.
- -R sectionname
- --remove-section=sectionname
- Remove the named section from the file. This option may be given more than
once. Note that using this option inappropriately may make the object file
unusable.
- -s
- --strip-all
- Remove all symbols.
- -S
- -g
- --strip-debug
- Remove debugging
symbols only.
- --strip-unneeded
- Strip all symbols that are not needed for relocation
processing.
- -N symbolname
- --strip-symbol=symbolname
- Remove symbol symbolname
from the source file. This option may be given more than once, and may be
combined with other strip options.
- -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
- Remove compiler-generated local symbols. (These usually
start with ``L'' or ``.''.)
- -K symbolname, --keep-symbol=symbolname
- Copy only symbol
symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once.
- -N symbolname, --strip-symbol=symbolname
- Do not copy symbol symbolname from
the source file. This option may be given more than once, and may be combined
with strip options other than -K.
- -v
- --verbose

files modified. In the case of archives, strip -v lists all members of the
archive.
- -V
- --version
