objfile...

The GNU size utility lists the section sizesand the total sizefor 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.

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 --format=sysv), or Berkeley size (using -B, or --format=berkeley). The default is the one-line format similar to Berkeleys.

The following 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

The following example shows the same data, but displayed closer to System V conventions.

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

Shows 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); in octal (-o, or --radix=8); or, in 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 hexadecimal for -d or -x output; or octal and hexadecimal if youre using -o.

--target=bfdname

Specify that the object-code format for objfile is bfdname. This option may not be necessary; size can automatically recognize many formats. See Target selection for more information.

-V
--version

Display the version number of size.
