   NAME
         size - print section sizes in bytes of object files

   SYNOPSIS
         size [ -F -f -n -o -V -x] files

   DESCRIPTION
         The size command produces segment or section size information in
         bytes for each loaded section in ELF or COFF object files. size
         prints out the size of the text, data, and bss (uninitialized data)
         segments (or sections) and their total.

         size processes ELF and COFF object files entered on the command line.
         If an archive file is input to the size command, the information for
         each object file in the archive is displayed.

         When calculating segment information, the size command prints out the
         total file size of the non-writable segments, the total file size of
         the writable segments, and the total memory size of the writable
         segments minus the total file size of the writable segments.

         If it cannot calculate segment information, size calculates section
         information. When calculating section information, it prints out the
         total size of sections that are allocatable, non-writable, and not
         NOBITS, the total size of the sections that are allocatable,
         writable, and not NOBITS, and the total size of the writable sections
         of type NOBITS. (NOBITS sections do not actually take up space in the
         file.)

         If size cannot calculate either segment or section information, it
         prints an error message and stops processing the file.

         -F      Prints out the size of each loadable segment, the permission
                 flags of the segment, then the total of the loadable segment
                 sizes.  If there is no segment data, size prints an error
                 message and stops processing the file.

         -f      Prints out the size of each allocatable section, the name of
                 the section, and the total of the section sizes.  If there is
                 no section data, size prints out an error message and stops
                 processing the file.

         -n      Prints out non-loadable segment or non-allocatable section
                 sizes.  If segment data exists, size prints out the memory
                 size of each loadable segment or file size of each non-
                 loadable segment, the permission flags, and the total size of
                 the segments.  If there is no segment data, size prints out,
                 for each allocatable and non-allocatable section, the memory
                 size, the section name, and the total size of the sections.
                 If there is no segment or section data, size prints an error
                 message and stops processing.

         -o      Prints numbers in octal, not decimal.

         -V      Prints the version information for the size command on the
                 standard error output.

         -x      Prints numbers in hexadecimal; not decimal.

   EXAMPLES
         The examples below are typical size output.

         size file         2724 + 88 + 0 =  2812

         size -f file            26(.text) + 5(.init) + 5(.fini)  = 36

         size -F file            2724(r-x) + 88(rwx) + 0(rwx) = 2812

   NOTES
         Since the size of bss sections is not known until link-edit time, the
         size command will not give the true total size of pre-linked objects.
