STRIP (I)                    3/15/72                    STRIP (I)





NAME            strip  --  remove symbols and relocation bits



SYNOPSIS        strip name  ...
                          1


DESCRIPTION     strip removes the symbol table and relocation

                bits ordinarily attached to the output of the as-

                sembler and loader.  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 of ld.



FILES           /tmp/stm?       temporary file



SEE ALSO        ld(I), as(I)



DIAGNOSTICS     Diagnostics are given for: non-existent argument;

                improper format (not an object file);

                inability to re-read temporary file.
