size - list section sizes and total size.
size [-A|-B|--format=compatibility]
[--help]
[-d|-o|-x|--radix=number]
[--common]
[-t|--totals]
[--target=bfdname] [-V|--version]
[objfile...]
The GNU size utility lists the section sizes---and the total
size---for each of the object or archive files objfile in its
argument list. By default, one line of output is generated for each
object file or each module in an archive.
objfile... are the object files to be examined. If none are
specified, the file "a.out" will be used.
The command line options have the following meanings:
-A
-B
--format=compatibility
Using one of these options, you can choose whether the output
from GNU size resembles output from System V size (using -A, or
--format=sysv), or Berkeley size (using -B, or
--format=berkeley). The default is the one-line format similar
to Berkeley's.
Here is an example of the Berkeley (default) format of output
from size:
$ size --format=Berkeley ranlib size
text data bss dec hex filename
294880 81920 11592 388392 5ed28 ranlib
294880 81920 11888 388688 5ee50 size
This is the same data, but displayed closer to System V
conventions:
$ size --format=SysV ranlib size
ranlib :
section size addr
.text 294880 8192
.data 81920 303104
.bss 11592 385024
Total 388392
size :
section size addr
.text 294880 8192
.data 81920 303104
.bss 11888 385024
Total 388688
--help
Show a summary of acceptable arguments and options.
-d
-o
-x
--radix=number
Using one of these options, you can control whether the size of
each section is given in decimal (-d, or --radix=10); octal (-o,
or --radix=8); or hexadecimal (-x, or --radix=16). In
--radix=number, only the three values (8, 10, 16) are supported.
The total size is always given in two radices; decimal and
hexadecimal for -d or -x output, or octal and hexadecimal if
you're using -o.
--common
Print total size of common symbols in each file. When using
Berkeley format these are included in the bss size.
-t
--totals
Show totals of all objects listed (Berkeley format listing mode
only).
--target=bfdname
Specify that the object-code format for objfile is bfdname. This
option may not be necessary; size can automatically recognize
many formats.
-V
--version
Display the version number of size.
@file
Read command-line options from file. The options read are
inserted in place of the original @file option. If file does not
exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
literally, and not removed.
Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
option in either single or double quotes. Any character
(including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the
character to be included with a backslash. The file may itself
contain additional @file options; any such options will be
processed recursively.
