.Sh NAME

|
|
.Nd remove unnecessary information from ELF executable files
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm elfstrip
|
|
.Ar file ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm elfstrip
|
|
utility
|
|
deletes the relocation information and symbol table used by
|
|
assemblers, loaders and debuggers.
|
|
This significantly
|
|
decreases the size of the installed binaries and saves disk space.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Elfstrip
|
|
is more aggressive about stripping unecessary information
|
|
than the GNU equivalent. The
|
|
GNU binutils
|
|
.Xr size 1
|
|
utility uses the "unecessary" information and may not be able to
|
|
find the size of executable segments of stripped files.
|
|
The strippped files are still correctly executed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Strip
|
|
exits 0 on success and 1 if an error occurred.
