PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
strip - remove unnecessary information from executable files (DEVELOPMENT)
SYNOPSIS
strip file...
DESCRIPTION
The strip utility shall remove from executable files named by
the file operands any information the implementor
deems unnecessary for execution of those files. The nature of that
information is unspecified. The effect of strip shall be
similar to the use of the -s option to c99 or fort77.
OPTIONS
None.
OPERANDS
The following operand shall be supported:
- file
-
A pathname referring to an executable file.
STDIN
Not used.
INPUT FILES
The input files shall be in the form of executable files successfully
produced by any compiler defined by this volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
strip:
- LANG
-
Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that
are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
for
the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
the values of locale categories.)
- LC_ALL
-
If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
other internationalization variables.
- LC_CTYPE
-
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes
of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
- LC_MESSAGES
-
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
error.
- NLSPATH
-
Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES
.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
Not used.
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
The strip utility shall produce executable files of unspecified
format.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
-
Successful completion.
- >0
-
An error occurred.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
EXAMPLES
None.
RATIONALE
Historically, this utility has been used to remove the symbol table
from an executable file. It was included since it is known
that the amount of symbolic information can amount to several megabytes;
the ability to remove it in a portable manner was deemed
important, especially for smaller systems.
The behavior of strip is said to be the same as the -s
option to a compiler. While the end result is essentially
the same, it is not required to be identical.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
