+point (!) then the sense of the switch is reversed for that symbol.
+For example:
+.Sp

+.IX Item "--only-keep-debug"
+Strip a file, removing contents of any sections that would not be
+stripped by \fB\-\-strip\-debug\fR and leaving the debugging sections
+intact. In \s-1ELF\s0 files, this preserves all note sections in the output.
+.Sp
+The intention is that this option will be used in conjunction with
+\&\fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR to create a two part executable. One a
+stripped binary which will occupy less space in \s-1RAM\s0 and in a
+distribution and the second a debugging information file which is only
+needed if debugging abilities are required. The suggested procedure
+to create these files is as follows:

+.RE

+.Sp
+Note\-\-\-the choice of \f(CW\*(C`.dbg\*(C'\fR as an extension for the debug info
+file is arbitrary. Also the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-only\-keep\-debug\*(C'\fR step is
+optional. You could instead do this:

+.RE
+.RS 4

+.Sp
+i.e., the file pointed to by the \fB\-\-add\-gnu\-debuglink\fR can be the
+full executable. It does not have to be a file created by the
+\&\fB\-\-only\-keep\-debug\fR switch.
+.Sp
+Note\-\-\-this switch is only intended for use on fully linked files. It
+does not make sense to use it on object files where the debugging
+information may be incomplete. Besides the gnu_debuglink feature
+currently only supports the presence of one filename containing
+debugging information, not multiple filenames on a one-per-object-file
+basis.
