The behaviors specified in this section are expected to disappear from a future version of the LSB; applications should only use the non-LSB-deprecated behaviors.
treats the original objfile as a file with the object code format bfdname, and rewrites it in the same format.
treats the original objfile as a file with the object code format bfdname.
replaces objfile with a file in the output format bfdname.
removes the named section from the file. This option may be given more than once. Note that using this option inappropriately may make the object file unusable.
removes all symbols.
removes debugging symbols only.
strips all symbols that are not needed for relocation processing.
removes symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once, and may be combined with other strip options.
puts the stripped output in file, rather than replacing the existing file. When this argument is used, only one objfile argument may be specified.
preserves the access and modification dates of the file.
removes non-global symbols.
removes compiler-generated local symbols. (These usually start with `L' or `.'.)
copies only symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once.
does not copy symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once, and may be combined with strip options other than -K.
lists all object files modified. In the case of archives, lists all members of the archive.
shows the version number for strip and exits.
