@itemx +strip-all
@cindex all symbols, discarding
This is the default case: strip all symbol entries from @var{objfiles}.
@item -g
@itemx -S
@itemx +strip-debug
@cindex debugging symbols, discarding
Discard only debugging symbol information from @var{objfiles}.
@item -x
@itemx +discard-all
@cindex local symbols, discarding
Discard all symbols local to each file in @var{objfiles}.
@emph{WARNING:} Note that @code{+discard-all} discards only @emph{local}
symbols, in spite of its name.
@item -X
@itemx +discard-locals
Discard local symbols starting with @samp{L} from each file in
@var{objfiles}. (Some compilers produce internally-used symbols that
begin with @samp{L}.)
@item -T @var{bfdname}
@cindex object code format
You can specify a particular object-code format @var{bfdname} for
@var{objfiles}. This may not be necessary; @var{strip} can automatically
recognize many formats. @xref{objdump}, for information on listing
available formats.
@item -v
Verbose operation: list all object files modified. In the case of
archives, @samp{strip -v} will list all members of the archive.
