Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing a library in a data processing system that supports file compression. Functions in the library that are unrequired on the data processing system are identified to form a set of identified functions. Existing data for the set of identified functions in the library is overwritten with new data that is more compressible than the code, wherein compression of the library by the data processing system results in a library with a smaller size.
