Difference between a stripped binary and a non stripped binary in Linux

Question

Could anyone please explain me whats the actual difference between a stripped and a non-stripped binary in Linux ?

After a little bit of googling, I found that non-stripped binary contains the debugging info and stripped binary does'nt.

Answer 1

Although you have found your answer from the Google. Just putting that , non-stripped binaries have debugging information built into it. So if you compile an executable with gcc's -g flag, it contains debugging information. Whereas Strip binaries generally remove this debugging information from the exe which is not necessary for execution so as to reduce the size of the exe.
