DH_STRIP(P)                 Debhelper                 DH_STRIP(P)



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

SYNOPSIS
       dh_strip [debhelper options] [-Xitem]

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
