- MYSTRIP V1.0
- ==============
-
- This little program tries to strip all symbol and debug hunks from
- an AmigaDOS EXECUTABLE. It DOES NOT WORK on gcc object (.o,.a) files !
- As GCC adds many symbol (and debug) infos even to the AmigaDOS
- executable and there ist actually no debugger around, that could use
- these informations, it's probably a good idea to remove these infos.
- They don't carry ANY information, the executable needs to be run.
-
- The program:
- ------------
- Included is the source and the executable (mystrip.c, mystrip)
- Simply call it as follows:
- mystrip in [out]
- It reads "in" and write the stripped executable to "out".
- If "out" is not given, stdout is used.
-
- Well: NEVER type: mystrip foo foo, as this will kill "foo"!
-
- The program prints out the numbers of symbols stripped, if "out" is given.
-
- I tested it on several executables, including cc1, gcc, sed, awk, etc.
- No error ever occured.
- Nontheless: NO WARRANTY IS GIVEN, that this program will work probably!
- So, USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
-
- The Source is included and may be changed by anyone.
- Indeed is this program a more quick-and-dirty hack and could be enhanced
- quite a bit.
