Remove any section named \fIsectionname\fR from the output file, in
|
|
addition to whatever sections would otherwise be removed. This
|
|
option may be given more than once. Note that using this option
|
|
inappropriately may make the output file unusable. The wildcard
|
|
character \fB*\fR may be given at the end of \fIsectionname\fR. If
|
|
so, then any section starting with \fIsectionname\fR will be removed.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If the first character of \fIsectionpattern\fR is the exclamation
|
|
point (!) then matching sections will not be removed even if an
|
|
earlier use of \fB\-\-remove\-section\fR on the same command line
|
|
would otherwise remove it. For example:
|
|
.Sp

.Vb 1
|
|
\& \-\-remove\-section=.text.* \-\-remove\-section=!.text.foo

.IP "\fB\-\-remove\-relocations=\fR\fIsectionpattern\fR" 4
|

.IX Item "--remove-relocations=sectionpattern"

Remove relocations from the output file for any section matching

\&\fIsectionpattern\fR. This option may be given more than once. Note
|
|
that using this option inappropriately may make the output file
|
|
unusable. Wildcard characters are accepted in \fIsectionpattern\fR.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& \-\-remove\-relocations=.text.*
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|

\&'.text.*'.

If the first character of \fIsectionpattern\fR is the exclamation

point (!) then matching sections will not have their relocation
|
|
removed even if an earlier use of \fB\-\-remove\-relocations\fR on the

|
same command line would otherwise cause the relocations to be removed.
|
|
For example:

.Vb 1
|

\& \-\-remove\-relocations=.text.* \-\-remove\-relocations=!.text.foo
|
|
.Ve

Strip a file, emptying the contents of any sections that would not be

The intention is that this option will be used in conjunction with
|
|
\&\fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR to create a two part executable. One a
|
|
stripped binary which will occupy less space in \s-1RAM\s0 and in a
|
|
distribution and the second a debugging information file which is only
|
|
needed if debugging abilities are required. The suggested procedure
|
|
to create these files is as follows:

create a file containing the debugging info.

|
|
.IX Item "1.<Run objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=foo.dbg foo>"

to add a link to the debugging info into the stripped executable.

Note\-\-\-the choice of \f(CW\*(C`.dbg\*(C'\fR as an extension for the debug info
|
|
file is arbitrary. Also the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-only\-keep\-debug\*(C'\fR step is
|
|
optional. You could instead do this:

i.e., the file pointed to by the \fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR can be the
|
|
full executable. It does not have to be a file created by the
|
|
\&\fB\-\-only\-keep\-debug\fR switch.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Note\-\-\-this switch is only intended for use on fully linked files. It
|
|
does not make sense to use it on object files where the debugging
|
|
information may be incomplete. Besides the gnu_debuglink feature
|
|
currently only supports the presence of one filename containing
|
|
debugging information, not multiple filenames on a one-per-object-file
|
|
basis.

Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
|
|
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
|
|
option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
|
|
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
|
|
with a backslash. The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
|
|
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
