- Short: V1.8 CLI tool to strip useless hunks
- Uploader: stoecker@amigaworld.com (Dirk Stoecker)
- Author: stoecker@amigaworld.com (Dirk Stoecker)
- Type: util/misc
- Version: 1.8
-
- This program removes most time useless parts of executable files:
- - HUNK_DEBUG hunks
- - HUNK_SYMBL hunks
- - HUNK_NAME hunks
- - empty HUNK_RELOC32, HUNK_DREL32 and HUNK_RELOC32SHORT
- - empty DATA/CODE/BSS hunks, when it is the last hunk
-
- When there are empty hunks at other places than the last one, you get a
- short information.
-
- Use it with care! Sometimes the files will not work after stripping these
- hunks, so test it.
-
- SYNOPSIS: StripHunks FILES/M,ONLYSHOW/S,ALL/S,SORT=SORTRELOC/S,NOSTRIP/S,
- NSE=NOSTRIPEMPTY/S,NSN=NOSTRIPNAME/S,
- NSD=NOSTRIPDEBUG/S,NSS=NOSTRIPSYMBOL/S,
- NSR=NOSTRIPRELOC/S,SBW=SORTBACKWARDS/S:
-
- FILES: The file/files which should be processed. Wildcards are supported.
- ONLYSHOW: The program does not save the stripped files back to disk.
- ALL: Scan sub directories as well.
- SORT: Sorts relocation entries from lower to higher values. This may
- save space on older programs, as they sometimes have splitted
- relocation entries.
- NOSTRIP: Disables all stripping.
- NSE: EMPTY hunks are not stripped.
- NSN: NAME hunks are not stripped.
- NSD: DEBUG hunks are not stripped.
- NSS: SYMBOL hunks are not stripped.
- NSR: RELOC information is not stripped.
- SBW: With SORT keyword reloc is sorted from highest to lowest number.
-
- Files with unknown structure show a warning and are not processed. Non
- executable files are ignored.
-
- NOTE: It may destroy files to strip EMPTY, DEBUG or SYMBOL hunks, but it
- should work for lot of files. I do not know files, where stripping NAME
- hunks or relocation information caused errors.
- Sorting the relocation entries should not produce any problems as well,
- but it is useful to compare two files byte for byte, as some crunchers
- sort relocation information as well.
-
- Please report me bugs, comments, suggestions and problems. If possible
- write a little mail if you use the program sometimes. If there are some
- Enforcer hits or other problems report them as good as possible.
-
- Use it as you want, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY!
