NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       dh_strip - strip executables, shared libraries, and some static
       libraries

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       dh_strip [debhelper options] [-Xitem]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       dh_strip is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping executables,
 shared libraries, and static libraries that are not used for
       debugging.

       It assumes that files that have names like lib*_g.a are static
       libraries used in debugging, and will not strip them.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from
	   being stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up
	   a list of things to exclude.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       If the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains "nostrip", nothing
 will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy.
