title: interpreting gcc map file
body: <p>I need to find the code size for a library developed using C on linux. I have generated the map file using the gcc linker options against a sample application that uses this library.</p>
  
  <p>The map file is quite exhaustive. How do I find out the code size of the library from the map file? any pointers to any documentation on how to interpret the map file would also be very useful. </p>
