OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       [SVID  3]  Displays  the  version number of the strip command.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The strip command removes the symbol table and any  strippable
  subsections of the section, including compact relocation
 information ordinarily present in executable files.
       This  is  useful  to  save  space after a program has been
       debugged.

       The effect of strip is the same as use of the -s option to
       cc, c89, or ld.

       Note  that  the  strip  command will not strip executables
       with unresolved relocation entries. It also does not  handle
 archive files.

EXIT STATUS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Success.  An error occurred.
