ostrip(1)
NAME
  ostrip - Reduce the size of object files

SYNOPSIS
  ostrip [options] file...

OPTIONS
  The following options are supported by the ostrip command:

  -c  Removes the .comment section of a linked image.

  -g  Removes unreferenced symbols and unused type information from the
      symbol tables of a pre-link .o file. This results in a smaller on-disk
      executable file. If .o files modified with this option are subsequently
      linked, ostrip -m should be run on the linked image.

  -j [image.stb] image
      Joins together two files that were previously split by the -t option
      into a symbol table file (image.stb) and a stripped image file (image).

  -m  Removes unreferenced symbols and unused type information for the symbol
      tables of a post-link executable file. This results in a smaller on-
      disk executable file. The symbol table still contains all information
      required for debugging.

  -r or -R
      Decompresses the output of ostrip. This option is provided for cases in
      which the input file is compressed in ALPHAMAGICZ format.

  -s  Removes the symbol table and any strippable subsections of the .comment
      section. (Performs the same operations as the strip command.)

  -t [image.stb] image
      Splits an image file (image) into a symbol table file (image.stb) and a
      stripped image file (image). The symbol table file will contain a
      checksum of the stripped image.

  -V  Displays the version of the ostrip command.

  -x  Produces a reduced symbol table by removing local information.  Also
      deletes any locally strippable subsections of the .comment section.
      (Performs the same operations as the ld -x command.)

  -z or -Z
      Compresses the output of ostrip into ALPHAMAGICZ format.

DESCRIPTION
  The ostrip command reduces the components of any object file based on the
  options that are specified. It is designed to work with any object file,
  that is, .o files, image files, and shared object files. It does not work
  with .a (archive) files.

RESTRICTIONS
  None.

EXAMPLES
   1.  The following command strips the local symbol table and converts the
       object file into ALPHAMAGICZ format:
	    ostrip -x -Z obj.o

   2.  The following command produces the symbol table file osize_mm.stb and
       the stripped image file osize.mm:
	    ostrip -t osize.mm

   3.  The following command joins the symbol table file osize_mm.stb to
       osize.mm:
	    ostrip -j osize.mm
