37 \& utility lists the section sizes\(em\&and the total
38 size\(em\&for each of the object files
39 .I objfile
40 in its argument list.
41 By default, one line of output is generated for each object file or each
42 module in an archive.

57 \& (using `\|\c

64 \& (using `\|\c
65 .B \-B\c
66 \|', or
67 `\|\c

85 Using one of these options, you can control whether the size of each
86 section is given in decimal (`\|\c
87 .B \-d\c
88 \|', or `\|\c
89 .B \-\-radix 10\c
90 \|'); octal
91 (`\|\c
92 .B \-o\c
93 \|', or `\|\c

95 \|'); or hexadecimal (`\|\c
96 .B \-x\c
97 \|', or
98 `\|\c

100 \|'). In `\|\c
101 .B \-\-radix \c
102 .I number\c
103 \&\c
104 \|', only the three
105 values (8, 10, 16) are supported. The total size is always given in two
106 radices; decimal and hexadecimal for `\|\c
107 .B \-d\c
108 \|' or `\|\c
109 .B \-x\c
110 \|' output, or
111 octal and hexadecimal if you're using `\|\c
