ostrip(1)ostrip(1)NAMEostrip - Reduce the size of object files
SYNOPSISostrip [options] file...
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by the ostrip command: Removes the
section of a linked image. Removes unreferenced symbols and unused
type information from the symbol tables of a pre-link file. This
results in a smaller on-disk executable file. If files modified with
this option are subsequently linked, ostrip-m should be run on the
linked image. Joins together two files that were previously split by
the -t option into a symbol table file (image.stb) and a stripped image
file (image). Removes unreferenced symbols and unused type information
for the symbol tables of a post-link executable file. This results in a
smaller on-disk executable file. The symbol table still contains all
information required for debugging. Decompresses the output of ostrip.
This option is provided for cases in which the input file is compressed
in ALPHAMAGICZ format. Removes the symbol table and any strippable
subsections of the section. (Performs the same operations as the strip
command.) Splits an image file (image) into a symbol table file
(image.stb) and a stripped image file (image). The symbol table file
will contain a checksum of the stripped image. Displays the version of
the ostrip command. Produces a reduced symbol table by removing local
information. Also deletes any locally strippable subsections of the
section. (Performs the same operations as the ld -x command.) Com‐
presses the output of ostrip into ALPHAMAGICZ format.
DESCRIPTION
The ostrip command reduces the components of any object file based on
the options that are specified. It is designed to work with any object
file, that is, files, image files, and shared object files. It does not
work with (archive) files.
RESTRICTIONS
None.
EXAMPLES
The following command strips the local symbol table and converts the
object file into ALPHAMAGICZ format: ostrip-x -Z obj.o The following
command produces the symbol table file osize_mm.stb and the stripped
image file osize.mm: ostrip-t osize.mm The following command joins the
symbol table file osize_mm.stb to osize.mm: ostrip-j osize.mm
