NAME
       size - print the size of the sections in an object file

SYNOPSIS
       size [ option ... ] [ object ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Size  (without the -m option) prints the (decimal) number of bytes required by the __TEXT, __DATA and
       __OBJC segments.  All other segments are totaled and that size is listed in the `others' column.  The
       final two columns is the sum in decimal and hexadecimal.  If no file is specified, a.out is used.

       The options to size(1) are:

       -      Treat the remaining arguments as name of object files not options to size(1).

       -m     Print the sizes of the Mach-O segments and sections as well as the total sizes of the sections
              in each segment and the total size of the segments in the file.

       -l     When used with the -m option, also print the addresses and offsets of the  sections  and  seg-ments. segments.
              ments.

       -x     When  used with the -m option, print the values in hexadecimal (with leading 0x's) rather than
              decimal.

       -arch arch_type
              Specifies the architecture, arch_type, of the file for size(1) to operate on when the file  is
              a  universal  file.   (See  arch(3)  for the currently know arch_types.)  The arch_type can be
              "all" to operate on all architectures in the file.  The default is to display  only  the  host
              architecture, if the file contains it; otherwise, all architectures in the file are shown.

BUGS
       The size of common symbols can't be reflected in any of the numbers for relocatable object files.
