SIZE(1) INTERACTIVE UNIX System SIZE(1)
NAME
size - print section sizes in bytes of common object files
SYNOPSIS
size [-n] [-f] [-o] [-x] [-V] files
DESCRIPTION
The size command produces section size information in bytes
for each loaded section in the common object files. The
size of the text, data, and bss (uninitialized data) sec-
tions is printed, as well as the sum of the sizes of these
sections. If an archive file is input to the size command,
the information for all archive members is displayed.
The -n option includes NOLOAD sections in the size.
The -f option produces full output, that is, it prints the
size of every loaded section, followed by the section name
in parentheses.
Numbers will be printed in decimal unless either the -o or
the -x option is used, in which case they will be printed in
octal or in hexadecimal, respectively.
The -V flag will supply the version information on the size
command.
SEE ALSO
as(1), cc(1), ld(1), a.out(4), ar(4).
DIAGNOSTICS
size: name: cannot open
if name cannot be read.
size: name: bad magic
if name is not an appropriate common object file.
CAVEAT
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.
