strip discards all symbols from object files objfile. The list of object files may include archives. At least one object file must be given.
strip modifies the files named in its argument, rather than writing modified copies under different names.
Treat the original objfile as a file with the object code format bfdname, and rewrite it in the same format. See Section 13.1, for more information.
Show a summary of the options to strip and exit.
Treat the original objfile as a file with the object code format bfdname. See Section 13.1, for more information.
Replace objfile with a file in the output format bfdname. See Section 13.1, for more information.
Remove any section named sectionname from the output file. This option may be given more than once. Note that using this option inappropriately may make the output file unusable.
Remove all symbols.
Remove debugging symbols only.
Remove all symbols that are not needed for relocation processing.
Keep only symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once.
Remove symbol symbolname from the source file. This option may be given more than once, and may be combined with strip options other than -K.
Put the stripped output in file, rather than replacing the existing file. When this argument is used, only one objfile argument may be specified.
Preserve the access and modification dates of the file.
Remove non-global symbols.
Remove compiler-generated local symbols. (These usually start with "L" or ".".)
Show the version number for strip.
Verbose output: list all object files modified. In the case of archives, "strip -v" lists all members of the archive.
