SIZE(1)			     GNU Development Tools		       SIZE(1)

NAME
       size - list section sizes and total size.

SYNOPSIS
       size [-A|-B|--format=compatibility]
	    [--help]
	    [-d|-o|-x|--radix=number]
	    [-t|--totals]
	    [--target=bfdname] [-V|--version]
	    [objfile...]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       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	--for-
	   mat=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 conven-
	   tions:

		   $ 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.

       -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 charac-
	   ter 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  in-
	   cluded  with	 a  backslash.	The file may itself contain additional
	   @file options; any such options will	be processed recursively.
