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. +.SH SEE ALSO +.LP +\fIar\fP, \fIc99\fP, \fIfort77\fP +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group.
