SIZE(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual SIZE(1)
NAME
size - display section sizes and total size of ELF objects
SYNOPSIS
size [--format=format] [--help] [--radix=radix] [--totals] [--version]
[-ABVdhotx] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The size utility lists the sizes of ELF sections, and optionally the
total size, for each input file specified on the command line. The size
utility can operate on ELF objects, on ar(1) archives containing ELF
objects, and on core dumps. If no file name is specified on the command-
line, a.out is assumed.
The size utility recognized the following options:
--format=format
Display output using the format specified by argument format.
Supported values for this argument are: `berkeley' and `sysv'.
The default output format is `berkeley'. See Display Formats
below for more information.
--help Display a help message and exit.
--radix=radix
Display numeric values using the radix specified by argument
radix. Supported values for radix are 8, 10 and 16. The default
radix is 10.
--totals
Shows cumulative totals of section sizes from all objects. This
option is ignored for System V style output.
--version
Display a version identifier and exit.
-A Equivalent to specifying option --format=sysv.
-B Equivalent to specifying option --format=berkeley.
-V Equivalent to specifying option --version.
-d Equivalent to specifying option --radix=10.
-h Equivalent to specifying option --help.
-o Equivalent to specifying option --radix=8.
-t Equivalent to specifying option --totals.
-x Equivalent to specifying option --radix=16.
DISPLAY FORMATS
Berkeley Style Output
If `berkeley' style output is in effect, an initial header line naming
fields will be output, followed by one line of output for each ELF object
specified on the command line or found in an archive.
Each line will contain the following whitespace separated fields in
order:
1. The size of the text segment in the object.
2. The size of the data segment in the object.
3. The size of the `bss' segment in the object.
4. The total size of the object in either decimal or octal. Decimal
output is used if the specified output radix for numeric values is
10 or 16. Octal output is used if the radix being used for numeric
values is 8.
5. The total size of the object in hexadecimal.
6. The file name of the object.
If option --totals was specified, an additional line in the same format
as above will be output at the end containing the sum of the respective
fields. The file name field for the line will contain the string
`(TOTALS)'.
System V Style Output
If System V style output is selected, size will output the following
information for each object:
1. The name of the object followed by a colon.
2. A header line containing the names of fields of subsequent lines.
3. One line per section present in the object. Each line has three
fields:
1. The name of the section.
2. Its size, in the selected radix for numeric values.
3. The address associated with the section, in the selected
numeric radix.
4. A line whose section name field contains the string `Total' and
whose size field contains the sum of all reported section sizes.
EXIT STATUS
The size utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
To display the section sizes for /bin/ls use:
$ size /bin/ls
text data bss dec hex filename
20975 540 392 21907 5593 /bin/ls
To display sizes and total for /bin/ls and /bin/dd in hexadecimal, use:
$ size -tx /bin/ls /bin/dd
text data bss dec hex filename
0x51ef 0x21c 0x188 21907 5593 /bin/ls
0x3df5 0x170 0x200 16741 4165 /bin/dd
0x8fe4 0x38c 0x388 38648 96f8 (TOTALS)
To display section sizes for /bin/ls in System V format use:
$ size -A /bin/ls
/bin/ls :
