Linux "size" Command Line Options and Examples
list section sizes and total size.

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.


Usage:

size [-A|-B|--format=compatibility]
[--help]
[-d|-o|-x|--radix=number]
[--common]
[-t|--totals]
[--target=bfdname] [-V|--version]
[objfile...]






Command Line Options:

--format
Using one of these options, you can choose whether the output from GNU size resembles output from System Vsize (using -A, or --format=sysv), or Berkeley size (using -B, or --format=berkeley). The default is theone-line format similar to Berkeley's.Here is an example of the Berkeley (default) format of output from size:$ size --format=Berkeley ranlib sizetext data bss dec hex filename294880 81920 11592 388392 5ed28 ranlib294880 81920 11888 388688 5ee50 sizeThis is the same data, but displayed closer to System V conventions:$ size --format=SysV ranlib sizeranlib :section size addr.text 294880 8192.data 81920 303104.bss 11592 385024Total 388392size :section size addr.text 294880 8192.data 81920 303104.bss 11888 385024Total 388688

--help
Show a summary of acceptable arguments and options.
size --help ...
--radix
Using one of these options, you can control whether the size of each section is given in decimal (-d, or
size --radix ...
--common
Print total size of common symbols in each file. When using Berkeley format these are included in the bsssize.
size --common ...
--totals
Show totals of all objects listed (Berkeley format listing mode only).
size --totals ...
--target
Specify that the object-code format for objfile is bfdname. This option may not be necessary; size canautomatically recognize many formats.
size --target ...
--version
Display the version number of size.@fileRead command-line options from file. The options read are inserted in place of the original @file option.If file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not removed.Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option bysurrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash)may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The file may itself containadditional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
