strip......Strip from Object File
strip filename
PURPOSE
The strip command strips symbols from object files. The list of object files may include archives, but at least one object file must be given. WARNING: The GNU version modifies the files named in its argument, rather than writing modified copies under different names, so be careful in your naming schemes.
OPTIONS
| -F bfdname | Treats the original objfile as a file with the object-code format bfdname, and rewrites it in the same format. |
| -g | Removes debugging symbols only. |
| -I bfdname | Treats the original objfile as a file with the object-code format bfdname. |
| -K symbolname | Copies symbolname from the source file. |
| -N symbolname | Strips symbolname from the source file. |
| -O bfdname | Replaces objfile with a file in the output format bfdname. |
| -R sectionname | Removes sectionname from the file. Be careful—incorrectly removing a section may make the object file unusable. |
| -s | Removes all symbols. |
| -S | Removes debugging symbols only. |
| --strip-unneeded | Strips all symbols that are not needed for relocation processing. |
| -v | Works in verbose mode, listing all the object files modified. |
| -x | Removes nonglobal symbols. |
| -X | Removes compiler-generated local symbols (usually beginning with L or .). |
xgettext......Get Text from C Programs
xgettext option(s) filename
PURPOSE
The xgettext command extracts strings (text) from C programs. It’s used to create portable message files, which contain copies of C strings from the source code in a specified filename. The portable message file can be used as input to the msgfmt utility, which will produce a binary form of the message file used at application run-time.
OPTIONS
| -a | Extract ALL strings, not just those found in |
| -cflag | Adds comments beginning with flag are added to filename as # delimited comments. |
| -d | Produce duplicates, not sorting output when writing the file and not overwriting existing output files. |
| -mstring | Fills in the msgstr line with output from the xgettext command. |
| -n | Adds # delimited line-number comments to the output file, indicating the line number in the source file where each extracted string is encountered. |
| -ofilename | Uses filename as the default output file. |
| -ppathname | Sets the directory for the output files. |
| -xfilename | Excludes the strings found in filename from the extraction process. |
| -P | Includes the strings in preprocessor statements. |

RELATED COMMAND
yacc......YACC Parser Generator
yacc option(s) filename
PURPOSE
The yacc command reads the grammar specification in the file filename and generates an LR parser for it. The parsers consist of a set of LALR parsing tables and a driver routine written in C. Parse tables and the driver routine are usually written to the file y.tab.c.
OPTIONS
| -b prefix | Changes the prefix prepended to output filenames to prefix. The default is y. |
| -d | Write the header file y.tab.h. |
| -l | Doesn’t insert code into existing files. |
| -r | Produce separate files for code (y.code.c) and tables (y.tab.c). |
| -t | Changes the preprocessor directives to include debugging information. |
| -v | Writes a human-readable description of the generated parser to y.output. |
