=head1 NAME

dh_strip - strip executables, shared libraries, and some static libraries

=cut

use strict;
use File::Find;
use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib;

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<dh_strip> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-X>I<item>] [item]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

dh_strip is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping
executables, shared libraries, and static libraries that are not used for
debugging.

It assumes that files that have names like lib*_g.a are static libraries
used in debugging, and will not strip them.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>

Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of
things to exclude.

=back

=head1 NOTES

If the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains "nostrip", nothing
will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy.

=head1 CONFORMS TO

Debian policy, version 3.0.1
