+.SH NAME
+strip \- remove unnecessary information from executable files (\fBDEVELOPMENT\fP)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fBstrip\fP \fIfile\fP\fB... \fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIstrip\fP utility shall remove from executable files named by
+the \fIfile\fP operands any information the implementor
+deems unnecessary for execution of those files. The nature of that
+information is unspecified. The effect of \fIstrip\fP shall be
+similar to the use of the \fB-s\fP option to \fIc99\fP or \fIfort77\fP.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+None.
+.SH OPERANDS
+.LP
+The following operand shall be supported:
+.TP 7
+\fIfile\fP
+A pathname referring to an executable file.
+.sp
+.SH STDIN
+.LP
+Not used.
+.SH INPUT FILES
+.LP
+The input files shall be in the form of executable files successfully
+produced by any compiler defined by this volume of
+IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.LP
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+\fIstrip\fP:
+.TP 7
+\fILANG\fP
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that
+are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
+IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
+for
+the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.TP 7
+\fILC_ALL\fP
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.TP 7
+\fILC_CTYPE\fP
+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).
+.TP 7
+\fILC_MESSAGES\fP
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
+error.
+.TP 7
+\fINLSPATH\fP
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of \fILC_MESSAGES
+\&.\fP
+.sp
+.SH ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+.LP
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+.LP
+Not used.
+.SH STDERR
+.LP
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH OUTPUT FILES
+.LP
+The \fIstrip\fP utility shall produce executable files of unspecified
+format.
+.SH EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.LP
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.TP 7
+\ 0
+Successful completion.
+.TP 7
+>0
+An error occurred.
+.sp
+.SH CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+.LP
+Default.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+Historically, this utility has been used to remove the symbol table
+from an executable 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.
+.LP
+The behavior of \fIstrip\fP is said to be the same as the \fB-s\fP
+option to a compiler. While the end result is essentially
+the same, it is not required to be identical.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
