size

PURPOSE

     Displays the section sizes of common object files.

SYNOPSIS
     size [ -ox ] [ file ] ...


DESCRIPTION

     The size command writes to the standard output the number
     of  bytes required  by  the text,  initialized data,  and
     uninitialized data,  along with their sum  for each file.
     The default file is a.out.

FLAGS

     The output is  in decimal notation unless  you change the
     output with the following flags:

     -o Writes in octal notation.
     -x Writes in hexadecimal notation.

EXAMPLES

     1.  To display the size of a.out in decimal:

           size

         This  displays the  size in  bytes of  the executable
         file a.out.  The  size of each section  of the object
         file  is given,  followed  by the  total.  The  three
         sections are program text,  data, and bss (uninitial-
         ized data).  The values are in decimal.
     2.  To display the size of an object file in octal:

           size  -o  driver.o

         This displays the size  of the object file "driver.o"
         in octal.
     3.  To display the size of several object files in hex:

           size  -x  *.o

         This displays in hexadecimal the size of each file in
         the current directory ending with ".o".
