NAME
       ostrip - Reduce the size of object files

SYNOPSIS
       ostrip [options] file...

OPTIONS
       The  following options are supported by the ostrip command: Removes the
       section of a linked image.  Removes  unreferenced  symbols  and	unused
       type  information  from	the  symbol  tables  of	 a pre-link file. This
       results in a smaller on-disk executable file. If	 files	modified  with
       this  option  are  subsequently	linked, ostrip -m should be run on the
       linked image.  Joins together two files that were previously  split  by
       the -t option into a symbol table file (image.stb) and a stripped image
       file (image).  Removes unreferenced symbols and unused type information
       for the symbol tables of a post-link executable file. This results in a
       smaller on-disk executable file. The symbol table  still	 contains  all
       information required for debugging.  Decompresses the output of ostrip.
       This option is provided for cases in which the input file is compressed
       in  ALPHAMAGICZ	format.	  Removes  the symbol table and any strippable
       subsections of the section. (Performs the same operations as the	 strip
       command.)   Splits  an  image  file  (image)  into  a symbol table file
       (image.stb) and a stripped image file (image). The  symbol  table  file
       will contain a checksum of the stripped image.  Displays the version of
       the ostrip command.  Produces a reduced symbol table by removing	 local
       information.   Also  deletes  any locally strippable subsections of the
       section. (Performs the same operations as the  ld  -x  command.)	  Com‐
       presses the output of ostrip into ALPHAMAGICZ format.

DESCRIPTION
       The  ostrip  command reduces the components of any object file based on
       the options that are specified. It is designed to work with any	object
       file, that is, files, image files, and shared object files. It does not
       work with (archive) files.

RESTRICTIONS
       None.

EXAMPLES
       The following command strips the local symbol table  and	 converts  the
       object  file  into ALPHAMAGICZ format: ostrip -x -Z obj.o The following
       command produces the symbol table file osize_mm.stb  and	 the  stripped
       image file osize.mm: ostrip -t osize.mm The following command joins the
       symbol table file osize_mm.stb to osize.mm: ostrip -j osize.mm
