OPTIONS:¶

--allow-broken-links

Allow the tool to remove sections even if it would leave invalid section references. The appropriate sh_link fields will be set to zero.

--disable-deterministic-archives

Disable deterministic mode when operating on archives (use real values for UIDs, GIDs, and timestamps).

--discard-all

Remove most local symbols. Different file formats may limit this to a subset. For ELF, file and section symbols are not discarded. Additionally, remove all debug sections

--discard-locals

Remove local symbols starting with .L

-D

Alias for --enable-deterministic-archives

-d

Alias for --strip-debug

--enable-deterministic-archives

Enable deterministic mode when operating on archives (use zero for UIDs, GIDs, and timestamps).

-g

Alias for --strip-debug

--keep-file-symbols

Keep symbols of type STT_FILE, even if they would otherwise be stripped

--keep-section=section Keep <section>

--keep-symbol=symbol

When removing symbols, do not remove <symbol>

-K <value>

Alias for --keep-symbol

--no-strip-all

Disable --strip-all

-N <value>

Alias for --strip-symbol

--only-keep-debug

Produce a debug file as the output that only preserves contents of sections useful for debugging purposes

-o <file>

Write output to <file>

--preserve-dates

Preserve access and modification timestamps

-p

Alias for --preserve-dates

--regex

Permit regular expressions in name comparison

--remove-section=section

Remove <section>

-R <value>

Alias for --remove-section

--strip-all-gnu

Remove all symbols, debug sections and relocations. Compatible with GNU's --strip-all

--strip-all

For ELF, remove all symbols and non-alloc sections not within segments, except for .gnu.warning*, .ARM.attribute, and the section name table. For COFF and Mach-O, remove all symbols, debug sections, and relocations

--strip-debug

Remove all debug sections

--strip-sections

Remove all section headers and all section data not within segments

--strip-symbol=symbol

Strip <symbol>

--strip-unneeded

Remove all symbols not needed by relocations

-S

Alias for --strip-debug

-s

Alias for --strip-all

-T

Remove Swift symbols

-U

Alias for --disable-deterministic-archives

--version

Print the version and exit.

-V

Alias for --version

--wildcard

Allow wildcard syntax for symbol-related flags. Incompatible with --regex. Allows using '*' to match any number of characters, '?' to match any single character, '' to escape special characters, and '[]' to define character classes. Wildcards beginning with '!' will prevent a match, for example "-N '*' -N '!x'" will strip all symbols except for "x".

-w

Alias for --wildcard

-X

Alias for --discard-locals

-x

Alias for --discard-all

OPTIONS (Mach-O specific):¶

--keep-undefined Do not remove undefined symbols

Pass @FILE as argument to read options from FILE.
