NAME

size - size of an object file

SYNOPSIS

size [ option ... ] [ object ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Size (without the -m option) prints the (decimal) number of bytes required by the __TEXT, __DATA and __OBJC segments. All other segments are totaled and that size is listed in the `others' column. The final two columns is the sum in decimal and hexadecimal. If no file is specified, a.out is used.

The options to size(1) are:

-: Treat the remaining arguments as name of object files not options to size(1).
-m: Print the sizes of the Mach-O segments and sections as well as the total sizes of the sections in each segment and the total size of the segments in the file.
-l: When used with the -m option, also print the addresses and offsets of the sections and segments.
-x: When used with the -m option, print the values in hexadecimal (with leading 0x's) rather than decimal.

BUGS

The size of common symbols can't be reflected in any of the numbers for relocatable object files.
