263
.PD
264
Permit regular expressions in \fIsymbolname\fRs used in other command
265
line options.  The question mark (?), asterisk (*), backslash (\e) and
266
square brackets ([]) operators can be used anywhere in the symbol
267
name.  If the first character of the symbol name is the exclamation
268
point (!) then the sense of the switch is reversed for that symbol.
269
For example:
270
.Sp
271
.Vb 1
272
\&          \-w \-K !foo \-K fo*
273
.Ve
274
.Sp
275
would cause strip to only keep symbols that start with the letters
276
\&\*(L"fo\*(R", but to discard the symbol \*(L"foo\*(R".

292
.IP "\fB\-\-keep\-file\-symbols\fR" 4
293
.IX Item "--keep-file-symbols"
294
When stripping a file, perhaps with \fB\-\-strip\-debug\fR or
295
\&\fB\-\-strip\-unneeded\fR, retain any symbols specifying source file names,
296
which would otherwise get stripped.
297
.IP "\fB\-\-only\-keep\-debug\fR" 4
298
.IX Item "--only-keep-debug"
299
Strip a file, removing contents of any sections that would not be
300
stripped by \fB\-\-strip\-debug\fR and leaving the debugging sections
301
intact.  In \s-1ELF\s0 files, this preserves all note sections in the output.
302
.Sp
303
The intention is that this option will be used in conjunction with
304
\&\fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR to create a two part executable.  One a
305
stripped binary which will occupy less space in \s-1RAM\s0 and in a
306
distribution and the second a debugging information file which is only
307
needed if debugging abilities are required.  The suggested procedure
308
to create these files is as follows:
309
.RS 4
310
.IP "1." 4
311
.IX Item "1."
312
\&\f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR then...
313
.ie n .IP "1." 4
314
.el .IP "1." 4
315
.IX Item "1."
316
create a file containing the debugging info.
317
.ie n .IP "1." 4
318
.el .IP "1." 4
319
.IX Item "1."
320
stripped executable.
321
.ie n .IP "1." 4
322
.el .IP "1." 4
323
.IX Item "1."
324
to add a link to the debugging info into the stripped executable.
325
.RE
326
.RS 4
327
.Sp
328
Note\-\-\-the choice of \f(CW\*(C`.dbg\*(C'\fR as an extension for the debug info
329
file is arbitrary.  Also the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-only\-keep\-debug\*(C'\fR step is
330
optional.  You could instead do this:
331
.IP "1." 4
332
.IX Item "1."
333
.PD 0
334
.ie n .IP "1." 4
335

341

342
.IX Item "1."
343
.RE
344
.RS 4
345
.PD
346
.Sp
347
i.e., the file pointed to by the \fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR can be the
348
full executable.  It does not have to be a file created by the
349
\&\fB\-\-only\-keep\-debug\fR switch.
350
.Sp
351
Note\-\-\-this switch is only intended for use on fully linked files.  It
352
does not make sense to use it on object files where the debugging
353
information may be incomplete.  Besides the gnu_debuglink feature
354
currently only supports the presence of one filename containing
355
debugging information, not multiple filenames on a one-per-object-file
356
basis.

380
Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
381
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
382
option in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including a
383
backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
384
with a backslash.  The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
385
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
