NAME
     size - list section sizes and total size.

SYNOPSIS
     size [-A|-B|--format=compatibility]
          [--help]
          [-d|-o|-x|--radix=number]
          [--common]
          [-t|--totals]
          [--target=bfdname] [-V|--version]
          [objfile...]

DESCRIPTION
     The GNU size utility lists the section sizes---and the total
     size---for  each  of  the object or archive files objfile in
     its argument list.   By  default,  one  line  of  output  is
     generated for each object file or each module in an archive.

     objfile... are the object files to be examined.  If none are
     specified, the file "a.out" will be used.

OPTIONS
     The command line options have the following meanings:

     -A
     -B
     --format=compatibility
         Using one of these options, you can choose  whether  the
         output from GNU size resembles output from System V size
         (using -A, or --format=sysv), or  Berkeley  size  (using
         -B,  or --format=berkeley).  The default is the one-line
         format similar to Berkeley's.

         Here is an example of the Berkeley (default)  format  of
         output from size:

                 $ size --format=Berkeley ranlib size
                 text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
                 294880  81920   11592   388392  5ed28   ranlib
                 294880  81920   11888   388688  5ee50   size

         This is the same data, but displayed closer to System  V
         conventions:

                 $ size --format=SysV ranlib size
                 ranlib  :
                 section         size         addr
                 .text         294880         8192
                 .data          81920       303104
                 .bss           11592       385024
                 Total         388392

                 Total         388688

     --help
         Show a summary of acceptable arguments and options.

     -d
     -o
     -x
     --radix=number
         Using one of these options, you can control whether  the
         size  of  each  section  is  given  in  decimal  (-d, or
         --radix=10); octal (-o, or  --radix=8);  or  hexadecimal
         (-x,  or --radix=16).  In --radix=number, only the three
         values (8, 10, 16) are supported.   The  total  size  is
         always given in two radices; decimal and hexadecimal for
         -d or -x output, or  octal  and  hexadecimal  if  you're
         using -o.

     --common
         Print total size of common symbols in each  file.   When
         using  Berkeley  format  these  are  included in the bss
         size.

     -t
     --totals
         Show totals  of  all  objects  listed  (Berkeley  format
         listing mode only).

     --target=bfdname
         Specify that  the  object-code  format  for  objfile  is
         bfdname.   This  option  may  not be necessary; size can
         automatically recognize many formats.

     -V
     --version
         Display the version number of size.

     @file
         Read command-line options from file.  The  options  read
         are  inserted in place of the original @file option.  If
         file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the  option
         will be treated literally, and not removed.

         Options  in  file  are  separated  by   whitespace.    A
         whitespace  character  may  be  included in an option by
         surrounding the entire option in either single or double
         quotes.   Any  character  (including a backslash) may be

         included by prefixing the character to be included  with
         a  backslash.   The  file  may itself contain additional
         @file  options;  any  such  options  will  be  processed
         recursively.
