17 The GNU size utility lists the section sizes---and the total size---for
18 each of the object or archive files objfile in its argument list. By
19 default, one line of output is generated for each object file or each
20 module in an archive.
21 objfile... are the object files to be examined. If none are specified,
23 the file "a.out" will be used.
24
26 The command line options have the following meanings:
27 -A
29 -B
30 --format=compatibility
31 Using one of these options, you can choose whether the output from
32 GNU size resembles output from System V size (using -A, or --for‐
33 mat=sysv), or Berkeley size (using -B, or --format=berkeley). The
34 default is the one-line format similar to Berkeley's.
35 Here is an example of the Berkeley (default) format of output from
37 size:
38 $ size --format=Berkeley ranlib size
40 text data bss dec hex filename
41 294880 81920 11592 388392 5ed28 ranlib
42 294880 81920 11888 388688 5ee50 size
43 This is the same data, but displayed closer to System V conven‐
45 tions:
46 $ size --format=SysV ranlib size
48 ranlib :
49 section size addr
50 .text 294880 8192
51 .data 81920 303104
52 .bss 11592 385024
53 Total 388392
54 size :
56 section size addr
57 .text 294880 8192
58 .data 81920 303104
59 .bss 11888 385024
60 Total 388688
61 --help
63 Show a summary of acceptable arguments and options.
64 -d
66 -o
67 -x
68 --radix=number
69 Using one of these options, you can control whether the size of
70 each section is given in decimal (-d, or --radix=10); octal (-o, or
71 --radix=8); or hexadecimal (-x, or --radix=16). In --radix=number,
72 only the three values (8, 10, 16) are supported. The total size is
73 always given in two radices; decimal and hexadecimal for -d or -x
74 output, or octal and hexadecimal if you're using -o.
75 -t
77 --totals
78 Show totals of all objects listed (Berkeley format listing mode
79 only).
80 --target=bfdname
82 Specify that the object-code format for objfile is bfdname. This
83 option may not be necessary; size can automatically recognize many
84 formats.
85 -V
87 --version
88 Display the version number of size.
89 @file
91 Read command-line options from file. The options read are inserted
92 in place of the original @file option. If file does not exist, or
93 cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not
94 removed.
95 Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace charac‐
97 ter may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option
98 in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a
99 backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be
100 included with a backslash. The file may itself contain additional
101 @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
