      \fIobjfile\fR...
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
GNU \f(CWstrip\fR discards all symbols from object files
\fIobjfile\fR.  The list of object files may include archives.
At least one object file must be given.
.PP
\f(CWstrip\fR modifies the files named in its argument,
rather than writing modified copies under different names.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.Ip "\f(CW-F \fIbfdname\fR\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--target=\fIbfdname\fR\fR" 4
Treat the original \fIobjfile\fR as a file with the object
code format \fIbfdname\fR, and rewrite it in the same format.
.Ip "\f(CW--help\fR" 4
Show a summary of the options to \f(CWstrip\fR and exit.
.Ip "\f(CW-I \fIbfdname\fR	\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--input-target=\fIbfdname\fR\fR" 4
Treat the original \fIobjfile\fR as a file with the object
code format \fIbfdname\fR.
.Ip "\f(CW-O \fIbfdname\fR\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--output-target=\fIbfdname\fR\fR" 4
Replace \fIobjfile\fR with a file in the output format \fIbfdname\fR.
.Ip "\f(CW-R \fIsectionname\fR\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--remove-section=\fIsectionname\fR\fR" 4
Remove any section named \fIsectionname\fR from the output file.  This
option may be given more than once.  Note that using this option
inappropriately may make the output file unusable.
.Ip "\f(CW-s\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--strip-all\fR" 4
Remove all symbols.
.Ip "\f(CW-g\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW-S\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--strip-debug\fR" 4
Remove debugging symbols only.
.Ip "\f(CW--strip-unneeded\fR" 4
Remove all symbols that are not needed for relocation processing.
.Ip "\f(CW-K \fIsymbolname\fR\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--keep-symbol=\fIsymbolname\fR\fR" 4
Keep only symbol \fIsymbolname\fR from the source file.  This option may
be given more than once.
.Ip "\f(CW-N \fIsymbolname\fR\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--strip-symbol=\fIsymbolname\fR\fR" 4
Remove symbol \fIsymbolname\fR from the source file. This option may be
given more than once, and may be combined with strip options other than
\f(CW-K\fR.
.Ip "\f(CW-o \fIfile\fR\fR" 4
Put the stripped output in \fIfile\fR, rather than replacing the
existing file.  When this argument is used, only one \fIobjfile\fR
argument may be specified.
.Ip "\f(CW-p\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--preserve-dates\fR" 4
Preserve the access and modification dates of the file.
.Ip "\f(CW-x\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--discard-all\fR" 4
Remove non-global symbols.
.Ip "\f(CW-X\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--discard-locals\fR" 4
Remove compiler-generated local symbols.
(These usually start with \fBL\fR or \fB.\fR.)
.Ip "\f(CW-V\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--version\fR" 4
Show the version number for \f(CWstrip\fR.
.Ip "\f(CW-v\fR" 4
.Ip "\f(CW--verbose\fR" 4
Verbose output: list all object files modified.  In the case of
archives, \fBstrip \-v\fR lists all members of the archive.
