          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.

          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.
