30.Sh NAME
31.Nm crunchide
32.Nd hides symbol names from ld, for crunching programs together

37.Ek
38.Bk -words
39.Op Fl k Ar keep-symbol

43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44.Nm
45hides the global symbols of
46.Ar object-file
47such that they are ignored by subsequent runs of the linker,
48.Xr ld 1 .
49Some symbols may be left visible via the
50.Fl k Ar keep-symbol
51and
52.Fl f Ar keep-list-file
53options.
54The
55.Ar keep-list-file
56must contain a list of symbols to keep visible, one symbol per line.
57The names given by
58.Ar keep-symbol
59or in
60.Ar keep-list-file
61should be C names.
62For example, to keep the C function
63.Dq foo
64visible, the option
65.Dq -k foo
66should be used.

68.Nm
69is designed as a companion program for
70.Xr crunchgen 1 ,
