28.Dt CRUNCHIDE 1
29.Os
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
39The
40.Nm
41utility hides the global symbols of
42.Ar object-file
43such that they are ignored by subsequent runs of the linker,
44.Xr ld 1 .
45Some symbols may be left visible via the
46.Fl k Ar keep-symbol
47and
48.Fl f Ar keep-list-file
49options.  The
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.  For example,
57to keep the C function
58.Dq foo
59visible, the option
60.Dq -k foo
61should be used.
62.Pp
63The
64.Nm
65utility is designed as a companion program for
66.Xr crunchgen 1 ,
67which automates the process of creating crunched binaries from
68multiple component programs.
69.Sh SEE ALSO
70.Xr crunchgen 1 ,
71.Xr ld 1

73The
74.Nm crunch
75utility was written by

80Chris Demetriou <cgd@netbsd.org> reorganized
81.Nm
82so that it supported multiple object formats, and added
83ELF object support and ECOFF object recognition.
