NAME

dh_strip - strip executables, shared libraries, and some static libraries

SYNOPSIS

dh_strip [''debhelper options''? [__-X__''item''?

DESCRIPTION

dh_strip is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping executables, shared libraries, and static libraries that are not used for debugging.

It assumes that files that have names like lib*_g.a are static libraries used in debugging, and will not strip them.

OPTIONS

-Xitem, --exclude=item

Exclude files that contain ``item'' anywhere in their filename from being stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.

NOTES

If the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains ``nostrip'', nothing will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy.

CONFORMS TO

Debian policy, version 3.0.1

SEE ALSO
