The nature of that information is +unspecified. The effect of +.IR strip +on object and executable files shall be similar to the use of the +.BR \-s +option to +.IR c99 +or +.IR fort77 . +The effect of +.IR strip +on an archive of object files shall be similar to the use of the +.BR \-s +option to +.IR c99 +or +.IR fort77 +for each object file in the archive. +.SH OPTIONS +None. +.SH OPERANDS +The following operand shall be supported: +.IP "\fIfile\fR" 10 +A pathname referring to a strippable file. +.SH STDIN +Not used. +.SH "INPUT FILES" +The input files shall be in the form of strippable files successfully +produced by any compiler defined by this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 +or produced by creating or updating an archive of such files +using the +.IR ar +utility. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" +The following environment variables shall affect the execution of +.IR strip : +.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10 +Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are +unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables" +for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine +the values of locale categories.) +.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10 +If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the +other internationalization variables. +.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10 +Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of +text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to +multi-byte characters in arguments). +.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10 +.br +Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and +contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error. +.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10 +Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of +.IR LC_MESSAGES . +.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS" +Default. +.SH STDOUT +Not used. +.SH STDERR +The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages. +.SH "OUTPUT FILES" +The +.IR strip +utility shall produce strippable files of unspecified format. +.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION" +None. +.SH "EXIT STATUS" +The following exit values shall be returned: +.IP "\00" 6 +Successful completion. +.IP >0 6 +An error occurred. +.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS" +Default. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +None. +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH RATIONALE +Historically, this utility has been used to remove the symbol table +from a strippable file. It was included since it is known that the +amount of symbolic information can amount to several megabytes; the +ability to remove it in a portable manner was deemed important, +especially for smaller systems. +.P +The behavior of +.IR strip +on object and executable files is said to be the same as the +.BR \-s +option to a compiler.
