31 !!DESCRIPTION
32
33
34 GNU __strip__ discards all symbols from
35 object files ''objfile''. The list of object files may
36 include archives. At least one object file must be
37 given.
38
39
40 __strip__ modifies the files named in its argument,
41 rather than writing modified copies under different
42 names.
