The
cprs(CP)
command reduces the size of an object file,
infile, by removing duplicate structure and union descriptors.
Its output is the reduced object file, outfile.
Both Common Object File Format (COFF) and
Executable and Linking Format (ELF) are supported
and are the only supported formats.
The options to cprs are:
-bformat
When this option is given, cprs does not scan
the object file infile to determine its file format before
compressing it; instead, cprs assumes that the
file format of infile is format.
The option argument format can be any one of
COFF, iBCS2 and ELF.
Here iBCS2 is equivalent to COFF.
Case of format is not significant.
-p
Print statistical messages, including total number of
tags, total duplicate tags, and total reduction of infile.
