Strip (Unix)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The correct title of this article is strip (Unix). The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

In Unix and Unix-like operating systems, the strip program removes all debugging and symbol information from executable binary programs and object files, thus potentially resulting in better performance and sometimes significantly less disk space usage.

It is part of the GNU Binary Utilities (binutils), and has been ported to other operating systems including Microsoft Windows.
