ilstrip1

Usage

Overview

Ilstrip strips the debug symbol information from an IL executable (.exe) or an IL dynamic link library (.dll).

Options

-o file, --output file

Specify the output filename. By default the stripped version of a file overwrites the original name.

-p, --preserve-dates

Preserve the original access and modification times on the input files.

-v, --verbose

List all files as they are modified.

--help

Print a usage message for the ilstrip program.

-V, --version

Print the version of the ilstrip program.

--

Marks the end of the command-line options, and the beginning of the input filenames. You may need to use this if your filename begins with '-'. e.g. "ilstrip -- -input.exe". This is not needed if the input is stdin: "ilstrip -" is perfectly valid.

Diagnostics

Exit status is 1 if an error occurred while processing the input. Otherwise the exit status is 0. See the manual page for ilsize(1) for a complete list of errors that may occur when loading an IL image file.
