.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Strip
removes the symbol table and relocation bits ordinarily attached to the output
of the assembler and loader.
This is useful to save space after a program has been debugged.
.PP
The effect of
.I strip
is the same as use of the
.B \-s
option of
.IR ld .
.PP
The
.B \-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.
