30.Sh NAME
31.Nm crunchide
32.Nd hides symbol names from ld, for crunching programs together
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Op Fl f Ar keep-list-file
36.Op Fl k Ar keep-symbol
37.Op Ar object-file ...
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39.Nm Crunchide
40hides 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.  The
49.Ar keep-list-file
50must contain a list of symbols to keep visible, one symbol per line.
51The names given by
52.Ar keep-symbol
53or in
54.Ar keep-list-file
55should be C names.  For example,
56to keep the C function
57.Dq foo
58visible, the option
59.Dq -k foo
60should be used.

62.Nm Crunchide
63is designed as a companion program for
64.Xr crunchgen 1 ,
65which automates the process of creating crunched binaries from
66multiple component programs.
