💅 GPSTRIP — bestie edition ✨

okay so you're here because you want to know about gpstrip, which lives in section 1 of the Linux user's manual and honestly? it's giving demolition crew but for symbols 🩷

🎀 NAME 🎀

gpstrip — discard symbols from object file 🗑️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gpstrip [options] [file(s)]

like. that's it. options, then files. go off 💖

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

bestie read this part fr fr. The info in this man page is an extract from the full documentation of gputils, and it's limited to the meaning of the options. For complete and current documentation, refer to gputils.ps located in the gputils docs directory. this page is the trailer, not the whole movie 🎬

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

gpstrip discards symbols from GNU PIC object files. no cap, that's its whole personality 🗑️

gpstrip is part of gputils 💜 so if you wanna know about the other GNU PIC utilities, go check the gputils(1) manpage. it's the group chat and gpstrip is just one member 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -g, --strip-debug — Strip debug symbols. bye debug info 👋😭
  • -h, --help — Show the usage message and exit. your little "help me" text, then it dips 🫶
  • -k SYMBOL, --keep-symbol SYMBOL — Keep symbol. protect this one at all costs 🥺👑
  • -n SYMBOL, --strip-symbol SYMBOL — Remove symbol. this one? gone. not me deleting it 💀
  • -o FILE, --output FILE — Alternate name of output file. you get to pick the name bestie 🎀
  • -p, --preserve-dates — Preserve dates. keep those timestamps looking untouched ⏰💅
  • -r SECTION, --remove-section SECTION — Remove section. yeet the whole section 🔥
  • --strict-options — If this is set, then an option may not be parameter of an another option. For example: -o --version 👀 like, options can't be each other's plus-ones, okay?
  • -s, --strip-all — Remove all symbols. every single one. scorched earth, iconic 🌋
  • -u, --strip-unneeded — Strip symbols not need for relocations. (yes that's the exact wording, no I will not fix it, it's ✨canon✨) only the unneeded ones get the boot 👢
  • -v, --version — Show the version information and exit. say hi to the version number then leave 🌟
  • -V, --verbose — Verbose mode. it tells you everything. main character energy, narrating its own life 📣
  • -x, --discard-all — Remove non-global symbols. local symbols? not invited to the party 🙈
