PROGRAM:
NAME
strip — remove unnecessary information from strippable files (DEVELOPMENT)
SYNOPSIS
strip file...
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
None.
OPERANDS
The following operand shall be supported:
file A pathname referring to a strippable file.
STDIN
Not used.
INPUT FILES
The input files shall be in the form of strippable files successfully produced by any
compiler defined by this volume of POSIX.1‐2008 or produced by creating or updating an
archive of such files using the ar utility.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
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.1‐2008, 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.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
Not used.
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
The strip utility shall produce strippable files of unspecified format.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values shall be returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
EXAMPLES
None.
RATIONALE
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.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
