strip - remove unnecessary information from executable files (
DEVELOPMENT)
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
strip file...
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.
None.
The following operand shall be supported:
- file
- A pathname referring to an executable file.
Not used.
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.
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 .
Default.
Not used.
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
The
strip utility shall produce executable files of unspecified format.
None.
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- >0
- An error occurred.
Default.
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
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.
None.
