/usr/arm-none-eabi/bin/strip

GNU Binutils built as a cross toolchain for the bare-metal ARM EABI target (arm-none-eabi). It provides target-prefixed tools: arm-none-eabi-as, -ld, -ld.bfd, -objcopy, -objdump, -nm, -ar, -ranlib, -strip, -readelf, -size, -strings, -addr2line, -c++filt, -elfedit and -gprof. They assemble, link, inspect and convert ARM/Thumb object files for Cortex-M/R/A embedded firmware development. The package is built from the same binutils-gdb source as Wolfi's native binutils, configured with --target=arm-none-eabi.

Usage: /usr/arm-none-eabi/bin/strip <option(s)> in-file(s)
 Removes symbols and sections from files
 The options are:
  -I --input-target=<bfdname>      Assume input file is in format <bfdname>
  -O --output-target=<bfdname>     Create an output file in format <bfdname>
  -F --target=<bfdname>            Set both input and output format to <bfdname>
  -p --preserve-dates              Copy modified/access timestamps to the output
  -D --enable-deterministic-archives
                                   Produce deterministic output when stripping archives (default)
  -U --disable-deterministic-archives
                                   Disable -D behavior
  -R --remove-section=<name>       Also remove section <name> from the output
     --remove-relocations <name>   Remove relocations from section <name>
     --strip-section-headers       Strip section headers from the output
  -s --strip-all                   Remove all symbol and relocation information
  -g -S -d --strip-debug           Remove all debugging symbols & sections
     --strip-dwo                   Remove all DWO sections
     --strip-unneeded              Remove all symbols not needed by relocations
     --only-keep-debug             Strip everything but the debug information
  -M  --merge-notes                Remove redundant entries in note sections (default)
      --no-merge-notes             Do not attempt to remove redundant notes
  -N --strip-symbol=<name>         Do not copy symbol <name>
     --keep-section=<name>         Do not strip section <name>
  -K --keep-symbol=<name>          Do not strip symbol <name>
     --keep-section-symbols        Do not strip section symbols
     --keep-file-symbols           Do not strip file symbol(s)
  -w --wildcard                    Permit wildcard in symbol comparison
  -x --discard-all                 Remove all non-global symbols
  -X --discard-locals              Remove any compiler-generated symbols
  -v --verbose                     List all object files modified
  -V --version                     Display this program's version number
  -h --help                        Display this output
     --info                        List object formats & architectures supported
  -o <file>                        Place stripped output into <file>
