NAME
size — print section sizes of object files
SYNOPSIS
size
[-d]
[-o]
[-x]
[-V]
[-v]
[-f]
[-F]
[-n]
[-U]
files
DESCRIPTION
size
produces section size information for each section in the
object files.
The size of the text, data and bss (uninitialized data) sections
are printed along with the total size of the object file.
If an archive file is input to the
size
command, the information for all archive members is displayed.
Options
size
recognizes the following options:
- -d
Print sizes in decimal. This is the default.
- -o
Print sizes in octal.
- -x
Print sizes in hexadecimal.
- -V
Print
version information about the
size
command.
- -v
Print a verbose list of the subspaces in the object files.
Each subspace is listed on a separate line with its size,
physical address, and virtual address.
- -f
Print the size of each allocatable section (ELF only).
- -F
Print the size and permission bits of each loadable segment (ELF only).
- -n
Print the sizes of non loadable segments or non allocatable sections
(ELF only).
- -U
Print the usage menu.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
The following internationalization variables affect the execution of
size:
- LANG
Determines the locale category for native language, local customs and
coded character set in the absence of
LC_ALL
and other
LC_*
environment variables.
If
LANG
is not specified or is set to the empty string,
a default of
C
(see
lang(5))
is used instead of
LANG.
- LC_ALL
Determines the values for all locale categories and has precedence over
LANG
and other
LC_*
environment variables.
- LC_MESSAGES
Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format
and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
- LC_NUMERIC
Determines the locale category for numeric formatting.
- LC_CTYPE
Determines the locale category for character handling functions.
- ST_SIZECAT
- NLSPATH
Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing
of
LC_MESSAGES.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
size
behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to
C.
See
environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
DIAGNOSTICS
- size: name: cannot open
name
cannot be read.
- size: name: bad magic
name
is not an appropriate object file.
EXAMPLES
Compare the sizes of the text, data,
and bss sections for two versions of a program:
size ./version1 ./version2
