STRIP(1P) POSIX Programmer's Manual STRIP(1P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The
Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
strip — remove unnecessary information from strippable files
(DEVELOPMENT)
strip file...
A strippable file is defined as a relocatable, object, or
executable file. On XSI-conformant systems, a strippable file can
also be an archive of object or relocatable files.
The strip utility shall remove from strippable 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 on object and executable files
shall be similar to the use of the -s option to c99 or fort77.
The effect of strip on an archive of object files shall be similar
to the use of the -s option to c99 or fort77 for each object file
in the archive.
None.
The following operand shall be supported:
file A pathname referring to a strippable file.
Not used.
The input files shall be in the form of strippable files
successfully produced by any compiler defined by this volume of
POSIX.1‐2017 or produced by creating or updating an archive of
such files using the ar utility.
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
strip:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization
variables that are unset or null. (See the Base
Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 8.2,
Internationalization Variables for the precedence of
internationalization variables used to determine the
values of locale categories.)
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values
of all the other internationalization variables.
LC_CTYPE Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences
of bytes of text data as characters (for example,
single-byte 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 catalogs for the
processing of LC_MESSAGES.
Default.
Not used.
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
The strip utility shall produce strippable files of unspecified
format.
None.
The following exit values shall be returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
Default.
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
Historically, this utility has been used to remove the symbol
table from a strippable file. It was included since it is known
that the amount of symbolic information can amount to several
megabytes; the ability to remove it in a portable manner was
deemed important, especially for smaller systems.
The behavior of strip on object and executable files is said to be
the same as the -s option to a compiler. While the end result is
essentially the same, it is not required to be identical.
XSI-conformant systems support use of strip on archive files
containing object files or relocatable files.
None.
