AT&T UNIX™PC Unix System V Users Manual - tenox

AR(l)
AR (I)
X Extract the named files. If no names are given, all files in
the archive are extracted. In neither case does x alter the
archive file.
v Give a verbose file-by-file description of the making of a
new archive file from the old archive and the constituent
files. When used with t, it gives a long listing of all information
about the files. When used with x, precede each
file with a name.
c Suppress the message that is produced by default when
afile is created.
Place temporary files in the local current working directory
rather than in the directory specified by the environment
variable TMPDIR or in the default directory
s Force the regeneration of the archive symbol table even if
ar(l) is not invoked with a command which will modify
the archive contents. This command is useful to restore
the archive symbol table after the strip (!) command has
been used on the archive.
FILES
jtmpfar* temporaries
SEE ALSO
file( l), ld( l), lorder(l), strip( l), a.out(4), ar(4).
NOTES
This archive format is new to this release. The ar command will �
not accept archive files in the old format. Use Release 2.0 or 3.0
ar commands (available from AT&T on an installable floppy disk)
to take apart archive files in the old format. Release 3.5 utilities
cannot be used to modify Release 3.0 archives; Release 3.0 utilities
cannot be used to modify Release 3.5 archives.
BUGS
If the same file is mentioned twice in an argument list, it may be
put in the archive twice.
