💖 FINDSTRIP(1) 💖

okay bestie, this is findstrip from the Debian Manual, and she is so useful it's not even funny 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

findstrip — find programs that are not stripped 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

findstrip

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she just goes 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: findstrip goes looking for unstripped files 🔍 it starts at your current directory as the starting point, and — important — it doesn't cross device boundaries, so it stays on the one filesystem, no wandering off into other mounts, periodt ✋

and how does it decide a file is "unstripped"? a file counts as unstripped if the output of file(1) contains the string "no .*strip" 🧐 like, that's the whole test. no cap.

then the output is a list of unstripped files, line by line, one per line, clean and simple ✨

ngl, this is giving "one job, done well" energy and I'm obsessed 😭
