strip: Replace the input file with its stripped version.
$ strip ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "strip ${filename}" is used to remove the debugging symbols or other additional information from an executable file.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "strip" is the name of the command that is used to strip the file.
  • "${filename}" is a variable representing the name of the file that you want to strip. The dollar sign ($) and curly brackets ({}) are used to reference the value of the variable.

By running this command, the file specified by the variable "filename" will be stripped, removing any unnecessary or debug information. This can help reduce the file size and improve performance in some cases.
