+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# Given a list of objects, strip all static symbols except those
+# required by insmod.
+#
+# Copyright Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>. GPL.
+# Sat Feb 1 12:52:17 EST 1997
+#
+# Mainly intended for reducing the size of modules to save space
+# on emergency and install disks. Be aware that removing the
+# static symbols reduces the amount of diagnostic information
+# available for oops. Not recommended for normal module usage.
+#
+# This code requires the modules use MODULE_PARM and EXPORT_.
+# Do not strip modules that have not been converted to use
+# MODULE_PARM or are using the old method of exporting symbols.
+# In particular do not use on modules prior to 2.1.20 (approx).
+#
+# The objects are stripped in /tmp, only if the strip works is
+# the original overwritten. If the command line to strip the
+# symbols becomes too long, the strip is done in multiple passes.
+# Running strip_module twice on the same object is safe (and a
+# waste of time).
