30.Sh NAME
31.Nm crunchide
32.Nd hides symbol names from ld, for crunching programs together
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Op Fl f Ar keep-list-file
36.Op Fl k Ar keep-symbol
37.Ar object-file
38.Op Ar object-file ...
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40.Nm
41hides the global symbols of
42.Ar object-file
43such that they are ignored by subsequent runs of the linker,
44.Xr ld 1 .
45Some symbols may be left visible via the
46.Fl k Ar keep-symbol
47and
48.Fl f Ar keep-list-file
49options.
50The
51.Ar keep-list-file
52must contain a list of symbols to keep visible, one symbol per line.
53The names given by
54.Ar keep-symbol
55or in
56.Ar keep-list-file
57should be C names.
58For example, to keep the C function
59.Dq foo
60visible, the option
61.Dq -k foo
62should be used.
63.Pp
64.Nm
65is designed as a companion program for
66.Xr crunchgen 1 ,
67which automates the process of creating crunched binaries from
68multiple component programs.
