As of Rust 1.59, the `cargo` command is now able to [strip a binary](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/cargo/reference/profiles.html#strip). This can be enabled in your `Cargo.toml` in the following way:

```

[package]

# ...

[profile.release]

strip="debuginfo"

```

---

A cargo subcommand that reduces the size of Rust binaries using the `strip` command.

## Installation & Usage

Run the following command:

```

cargo install --force cargo-strip

```

Simply strip your binary with:

```

cargo strip

```

When cross-compiling, the `--target` could be used to strip the binary, such as:

```

cargo strip --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

```
