NAME
  strip - Removes symbols and relocation bits

SYNOPSIS
  strip [-V] file...

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  strip:  XCU5.0

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS
  -V  [SVID 3]	Displays the version number of the strip command.

DESCRIPTION
  The strip command removes the symbol table and any strippable subsections
  of the .comment section, including compact relocation information
  ordinarily present in executable files. This is useful to save space after
  a program has been debugged.

  The effect of strip is the same as use of the -s option to cc, c89, or ld.

  Note that the strip command will not strip executables with unresolved
  relocation entries. It also does not handle archive files.

EXIT STATUS
  0 (Zero)
      Success.

  >0  An error occurred.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the behavior of strip:

  LANG
      Provides a default value for the locale category variables that are not
      set or null.

  LC_ALL
      If set, overrides the values of all other locale variables.

  LC_CTYPE
      Determines the locale for the interpretation of byte sequences as
      characters (single-byte or multibyte) in input parameters and files.

  LC_MESSAGES
      Determines the locale used to affect the format and contents of
      diagnostic messages displayed by the command.

  NLSPATH
      Determines the location of message catalogs for processing of
      LC_MESSAGES.

  TMPDIR
      Determines the directory where a temporary file will be created (if
      needed). If not set, the current working directory is used.
