STRIP(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             STRIP(1)

NAME
     strip  -  excise object program segments

SYNOPSIS
     strip [ -n ] name ...

DESCRIPTION
     _S_t_r_i_p removes the symbol table and relocation bits ordi-
     narily attached to the output of the assembler and loader.
     This is useful to save space after a program has been
     debugged.

     The effect of _s_t_r_i_p is the same as use of the -s option of
     _l_d.

     The -n flag removes a program's text, data, and relocation
     information segments, leaving only the headers and symbol
     table.  This is useful for files such as /unix, where only
     the symbol table information need be publicly readable.

FILES
     /tmp/s??????        temporary files
