NAME
       size - list section sizes and total size.

SYNOPSIS
       size [-A│-B│--format=compatibility]
	    [--help]
	    [-d│-o│-x│--radix=number]
	    [-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  speci-
       fied, 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  --for-
	   mat=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 conven-
	   tions:

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

		   size	 :
		   section	   size		addr
		   .text	 294880		8192
		   .data	  81920	      303104
		   .bss		  11888	      385024
		   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	 hex-
	   adecimal  for  -d or -x output, or octal and hexadecimal if you’re
	   using -o.

       -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.
