28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm crunchide
31.Nd hides symbol names from ld, for crunching programs together
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Nm
34.Op Fl f Ar keep-list-file
35.Op Fl k Ar keep-symbol
36.Op Ar object-file ...
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40utility hides the global symbols of
41.Ar object-file
42such that they are ignored by subsequent runs of the linker,
43.Xr ld 1 .
44Some symbols may be left visible via the
45.Fl k Ar keep-symbol
46and
47.Fl f Ar keep-list-file
48options.
49The
50.Ar keep-list-file
51must contain a list of symbols to keep visible, one symbol per line.
52The names given by
53.Ar keep-symbol
54or in
55.Ar keep-list-file
56should be C names.
57For example,
58to keep the C function
59.Dq foo
60visible, the option
61.Dq -k foo
62should be used.
63.Pp
64The
65.Nm
66utility is designed as a companion program for
67.Xr crunchgen 1 ,
68which automates the process of creating crunched binaries from
69multiple component programs.
