How to determine if binary is stripped on Mac OS X?

Question

On Linux if I do file foo, and assuming foo is a binary or shared library, the output will show me if the binary is stripped of symbols. When I try the same on Mac OSX, all I get "Mach-0 executable ppc". Is there another command I can use to check if files are stripped?

Answer 1

You could strip it and see if it gets any smaller.
