.SH DESCRIPTION
The GNU \c
.B size\c
\& utility lists the section sizes\(em\&and the total
size\(em\&for each of the object files
.I objfile
in its argument list.
By default, one line of output is generated for each object file or each
module in an archive.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-A
.TP
.B \-B
.TP
.BI "\-\-format " "compatibility"\c
\&
Using one of these options, you can choose whether the output from GNU
\c
.B size\c
\& resembles output from System V \c
.B size\c
\& (using `\|\c
.B \-A\c
\|',
or `\|\c
.B \-\-format=sysv\c
\|'), or Berkeley \c
.B size\c
\& (using `\|\c
.B \-B\c
\|', or
`\|\c
.B \-\-format=berkeley\c
\|').  The default is the one-line format similar to
Berkeley's.  

.TP
.B \-\-help
Show a summary of acceptable arguments and options.

.TP
.B \-d
.TP
.B \-o
.TP
.B \-x
.TP
.BI "\-\-radix " "number"\c
\&
Using one of these options, you can control whether the size of each
section is given in decimal (`\|\c
.B \-d\c
\|', or `\|\c
.B \-\-radix 10\c
\|'); octal
(`\|\c
.B \-o\c
\|', or `\|\c
.B \-\-radix 8\c
\|'); or hexadecimal (`\|\c
.B \-x\c
\|', or
`\|\c
.B \-\-radix 16\c
\|').  In `\|\c
.B \-\-radix \c
.I number\c
\&\c
\|', only the three
values (8, 10, 16) are supported.  The total size is always given in two
radices; decimal and hexadecimal for `\|\c
.B \-d\c
\|' or `\|\c
.B \-x\c
\|' output, or
octal and hexadecimal if you're using `\|\c
.B \-o\c
\|'.

.TP
.BI "\-\-target " "bfdname"\c
\&
You can specify a particular object-code format for \c
.I objfile\c
\& as
\c
.I bfdname\c
\&.  This may not be necessary; \c
.I size\c
\& can
automatically recognize many formats.   See 
.BR objdump ( 1 ) 
for information
on listing available formats.

.TP
.B \-V
.TP
.B \-\-version
Display version number information on \c
.B size\c
\& itself.
