User Commands strip(1)
NAME
strip - strip symbol table, debugging and line number infor-
mation from an object file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ccs/bin/strip [-lVx] file...
DESCRIPTION
The strip command removes the symbol table SHT_SYMTAB and
its associated string table, debugging information, and line
number information from ELF object files. That is, besides
the symbol table and associated string table, the following
sections are removed:
.line
.debug*
.stab*
Once this stripping process has been done, limited symbolic
debugging access is available for that file. Therefore, this
command is normally run only on production modules that have
been debugged and tested.
If strip is executed on a common archive file (see
ar.h(3HEAD)) in addition to processing the members, strip
will remove the archive symbol table. The archive symbol
table must be restored by executing the ar(1) command with
the -s option before the archive can be linked by the ld(1)
command. strip will produce appropriate warning messages
when this situation arises.
strip is used to reduce the file storage overhead taken by
the object file.
OPTIONS
The amount of information stripped from the ELF object file
can be controlled by using any of the following options:
-l Strip line number information only.Does not strip
the symbol table or debugging information.
-V Prints, on standard error, the version number of
strip.
-x Does not strip the symbol table. Debugging and line
number information may be stripped.
