150 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
151 \&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBstrip\fR discards all symbols from object files
152 \&\fIobjfile\fR. The list of object files may include archives.
153 At least one object file must be given.
155 \&\fBstrip\fR modifies the files named in its argument,
156 rather than writing modified copies under different names.

160 .IX Item "-F bfdname"
162 .IP "\fB\-\-target=\fR\fIbfdname\fR" 4
163 .IX Item "--target=bfdname"
165 Treat the original \fIobjfile\fR as a file with the object
166 code format \fIbfdname\fR, and rewrite it in the same format.
167 .IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
169 Show a summary of the options to \fBstrip\fR and exit.

179 .IX Item "-O bfdname"
181 .IP "\fB\-\-output\-target=\fR\fIbfdname\fR" 4
182 .IX Item "--output-target=bfdname"
184 Replace \fIobjfile\fR with a file in the output format \fIbfdname\fR.

186 .IX Item "-R sectionname"
188 .IP "\fB\-\-remove\-section=\fR\fIsectionname\fR" 4
189 .IX Item "--remove-section=sectionname"
191 Remove any section named \fIsectionname\fR from the output file. This
192 option may be given more than once. Note that using this option
193 inappropriately may make the output file unusable.
197 .IP "\fB\-\-strip\-all\fR" 4
198 .IX Item "--strip-all"
208 .IP "\fB\-\-strip\-debug\fR" 4
209 .IX Item "--strip-debug"
211 Remove debugging symbols only.

216 .IX Item "-K symbolname"
218 .IP "\fB\-\-keep\-symbol=\fR\fIsymbolname\fR" 4
219 .IX Item "--keep-symbol=symbolname"
221 Keep only symbol \fIsymbolname\fR from the source file. This option may
222 be given more than once.

224 .IX Item "-N symbolname"
226 .IP "\fB\-\-strip\-symbol=\fR\fIsymbolname\fR" 4
227 .IX Item "--strip-symbol=symbolname"
229 Remove symbol \fIsymbolname\fR from the source file. This option may be
230 given more than once, and may be combined with strip options other than
232 .IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
234 Put the stripped output in \fIfile\fR, rather than replacing the
235 existing file. When this argument is used, only one \fIobjfile\fR
236 argument may be specified.
240 .IP "\fB\-\-preserve\-dates\fR" 4
241 .IX Item "--preserve-dates"
243 Preserve the access and modification dates of the file.

254 .IP "\fB\-\-discard\-locals\fR" 4
255 .IX Item "--discard-locals"
257 Remove compiler-generated local symbols.
258 (These usually start with \fBL\fR or \fB.\fR.)
262 .IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
265 Show the version number for \fBstrip\fR.
269 .IP "\fB\-\-verbose\fR" 4
