OVERVIEW: llvm-strip tool
USAGE: llvm-strip [options] inputs...
OPTIONS:
--allow-broken-links Allow the tool to remove sections even if it would leave invalid section references. The appropriate sh_link fields will be set to zero.
--disable-deterministic-archives
Disable deterministic mode when operating on archives (use real values for UIDs, GIDs, and timestamps).
--discard-all Remove most local symbols. Different file formats may limit this to a subset. For ELF, file and section symbols are not discarded. Additionally, remove all debug sections
--discard-locals Remove local symbols starting with .L
-D Alias for --enable-deterministic-archives
-d Alias for --strip-debug
--enable-deterministic-archives
Enable deterministic mode when operating on archives (use zero for UIDs, GIDs, and timestamps).
-g Alias for --strip-debug
--keep-file-symbols Keep symbols of type STT_FILE, even if they would otherwise be stripped
--keep-section=section Keep <section>
--keep-symbol=symbol When removing symbols, do not remove <symbol>
-K <value> Alias for --keep-symbol
--no-strip-all Disable --strip-all
-N <value> Alias for --strip-symbol
--only-keep-debug Produce a debug file as the output that only preserves contents of sections useful for debugging purposes
-o <file> Write output to <file>
--preserve-dates Preserve access and modification timestamps
-p Alias for --preserve-dates
--regex Permit regular expressions in name comparison
--remove-section=section
Remove <section>
-R <value> Alias for --remove-section
--strip-all-gnu Remove all symbols, debug sections and relocations. Compatible with GNU's --strip-all
--strip-all For ELF, remove all symbols and non-alloc sections not within segments, except for .gnu.warning*, .ARM.attribute, and the section name table. For COFF and Mach-O, remove all symbols, debug sections, and relocations
--strip-debug Remove all debug sections
--strip-sections Remove all section headers and all section data not within segments
--strip-symbol=symbol Strip <symbol>
--strip-unneeded Remove all symbols not needed by relocations
-S Alias for --strip-debug
-s Alias for --strip-all
-T Remove Swift symbols
-U Alias for --disable-deterministic-archives
--version Print the version and exit.
-V Alias for --version
--wildcard Allow wildcard syntax for symbol-related flags. Incompatible with --regex. Allows using '*' to match any number of characters, '?' to match any single character, '' to escape special characters, and '[]' to define character classes. Wildcards beginning with '!' will prevent a match, for example "-N '*' -N '!x'" will strip all symbols except for "x".
-w Alias for --wildcard
-X Alias for --discard-locals
-x Alias for --discard-all
OPTIONS (Mach-O specific):
--keep-undefined Do not remove undefined symbols
Pass @FILE as argument to read options from FILE.
