NAME
strip - remove unnecessary information from executable files
(DEVELOPMENT)
SYNOPSIS
strip file...
DESCRIPTION
The
strip
utility removes 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
is the same as the use of the
-s
option to
cc,
c89
or
fort77.
OPTIONS
None.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
- file
- A pathname referring to an executable file.
STDIN
Not used.
INPUT FILES
The input files must be in the form
of executable files successfully produced by
any compiler defined by this specification.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of
strip:
- LANG
- Provide a default value for the internationalisation variables
that are unset or null.
If
LANG
is unset or null, the corresponding value from the
implementation-dependent default locale will be used.
If any of the internationalisation variables contains an invalid setting, the
utility will behave as if none of the variables had been defined.
- LC_ALL
-
If set to a non-empty string value,
override the values of all the other internationalisation variables.
- LC_CTYPE
-
Determine the
locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as
characters (for example, single- 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 catalogues
for the processing of
LC_MESSAGES .
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
Not used.
STDERR
Used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
The
strip
utility will produce executable files of unspecified format.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- >0
- An error occurred.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
