These are likely debugging symbols. Run “file” on the file to see if it says something similar to “with debug_info, not stripped” on the end.
If you intend to be building packages for distribution you can always locally amend the build process to “strip” the object files before packaging, if this concerns you. Chris.

I am installing it from the github repository. I ran make build-release of VPP20.09 and was able to install it in my system. I had a few doubts. Kindly help me clarify them. I was analyzing the binaries created by unpacking the .deb files in a tmp folder. When I did strings on the shared libraries created like libvppinfra.so and libvnet.so, I found the paths of the .c source file paths. I had a doubt why these paths were present. Is there any way we can remove them? admin@admin-server:~/test_deb/tmp2/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ strings libvnet.so | grep /home/ /home/admin/vpp-20.09/build-root/install-vpp-native/vpp/lib /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/geneve/encap.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/bonding/node.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/ipsec/ipsec_output.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/l2/l2_api.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/vxlan/vxlan.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/geneve/geneve.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/bonding/cli.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/ip/vtep.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/vxlan-gbp/vxlan_gbp.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/vxlan-gpe/vxlan_gpe.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/lisp-cp/one_api.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/lisp-gpe/lisp_gpe_adjacency.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/srmpls/sr_mpls_policy.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/session/application_worker.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/fib/fib_attached_export.c /home/admin/vpp-20.09/src/vnet/dpo/load_balance_map.c Thanks!
