An \fIarchive\fR is a single file holding a collection of -other files in a structure that makes it possible to retrieve -the original individual files (called \fImembers\fR of the archive). -.PP -The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner, and -group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on -extraction. -.PP -\&\s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR can maintain archives whose members have names of any -length; however, depending on how \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR is configured on your -system, a limit on member-name length may be imposed for compatibility -with archive formats maintained with other tools. If it exists, the -limit is often 15 characters (typical of formats related to a.out) or 16 -characters (typical of formats related to coff). -.PP -\&\f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR is considered a binary utility because archives of this sort -are most often used as \fIlibraries\fR holding commonly needed -subroutines. -.PP -\&\f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR creates an index to the symbols defined in relocatable -object modules in the archive when you specify the modifier \fBs\fR. -Once created, this index is updated in the archive whenever \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR -makes a change to its contents (save for the \fBq\fR update operation). -An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the library, and -allows routines in the library to call each other without regard to -their placement in the archive. -.PP -You may use \fBnm \-s\fR or \fBnm \-\-print-armap\fR to list this index -table. If an archive lacks the table, another form of \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR called -\&\f(CW\*(C`ranlib\*(C'\fR can be used to add just the table. -.PP -\&\s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR is designed to be compatible with two different -facilities. You can control its activity using command-line options, -like the different varieties of \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR on Unix systems; or, if you -specify the single command-line option \fB\-M\fR, you can control it -with a script supplied via standard input, like the \s-1MRI\s0 ``librarian'' -program. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.IX Header "OPTIONS" -\&\s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR allows you to mix the operation code \fIp\fR and modifier -flags \fImod\fR in any order, within the first command-line argument. -.PP -If you wish, you may begin the first command-line argument with a -dash. -.PP -The \fIp\fR keyletter specifies what operation to execute; it may be -any of the following, but you must specify only one of them: -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`d\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "d" -\&\fIDelete\fR modules from the archive. Specify the names of modules to -be deleted as \fImember\fR...; the archive is untouched if you -specify no files to delete. -.Sp -If you specify the \fBv\fR modifier, \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR lists each module -as it is deleted. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`m\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "m" -Use this operation to \fImove\fR members in an archive. -.Sp -The ordering of members in an archive can make a difference in how -programs are linked using the library, if a symbol is defined in more -than one member. -.Sp -If no modifiers are used with \f(CW\*(C`m\*(C'\fR, any members you name in the -\&\fImember\fR arguments are moved to the \fIend\fR of the archive; -you can use the \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, or \fBi\fR modifiers to move them to a -specified place instead. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`p\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "p" -\&\fIPrint\fR the specified members of the archive, to the standard -output file. If the \fBv\fR modifier is specified, show the member -name before copying its contents to standard output. -.Sp -If you specify no \fImember\fR arguments, all the files in the archive are -printed. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`q\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "q" -\&\fIQuick append\fR; Historically, add the files \fImember\fR... to the end of -\&\fIarchive\fR, without checking for replacement. -.Sp -The modifiers \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, and \fBi\fR do \fInot\fR affect this -operation; new members are always placed at the end of the archive. -.Sp -The modifier \fBv\fR makes \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR list each file as it is appended. -.Sp -Since the point of this operation is speed, the archive's symbol table -index is not updated, even if it already existed; you can use \fBar s\fR or -\&\f(CW\*(C`ranlib\*(C'\fR explicitly to update the symbol table index. -.Sp -However, too many different systems assume quick append rebuilds the -index, so \s-1GNU\s0 ar implements \f(CW\*(C`q\*(C'\fR as a synonym for \f(CW\*(C`r\*(C'\fR. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`r\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "r" -Insert the files \fImember\fR... into \fIarchive\fR (with -\&\fIreplacement\fR). This operation differs from \fBq\fR in that any -previously existing members are deleted if their names match those being -added. -.Sp -If one of the files named in \fImember\fR... does not exist, \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR -displays an error message, and leaves undisturbed any existing members -of the archive matching that name. -.Sp -By default, new members are added at the end of the file; but you may -use one of the modifiers \fBa\fR, \fBb\fR, or \fBi\fR to request -placement relative to some existing member. -.Sp -The modifier \fBv\fR used with this operation elicits a line of -output for each file inserted, along with one of the letters \fBa\fR or -\&\fBr\fR to indicate whether the file was appended (no old member -deleted) or replaced. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`t\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "t" -Display a \fItable\fR listing the contents of \fIarchive\fR, or those -of the files listed in \fImember\fR... that are present in the -archive. Normally only the member name is shown; if you also want to -see the modes (permissions), timestamp, owner, group, and size, you can -request that by also specifying the \fBv\fR modifier. -.Sp -If you do not specify a \fImember\fR, all files in the archive -are listed. -.Sp -If there is more than one file with the same name (say, \fBfie\fR) in -an archive (say \fBb.a\fR), \fBar t b.a fie\fR lists only the -first instance; to see them all, you must ask for a complete -listing\-\-\-in our example, \fBar t b.a\fR. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`x\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "x" -\&\fIExtract\fR members (named \fImember\fR) from the archive. You can -use the \fBv\fR modifier with this operation, to request that -\&\f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR list each name as it extracts it. -.Sp -If you do not specify a \fImember\fR, all files in the archive -are extracted. -.PP -A number of modifiers (\fImod\fR) may immediately follow the \fIp\fR -keyletter, to specify variations on an operation's behavior: -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "a" -Add new files \fIafter\fR an existing member of the -archive. If you use the modifier \fBa\fR, the name of an existing archive -member must be present as the \fIrelpos\fR argument, before the -\&\fIarchive\fR specification. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`b\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "b" -Add new files \fIbefore\fR an existing member of the -archive. If you use the modifier \fBb\fR, the name of an existing archive -member must be present as the \fIrelpos\fR argument, before the -\&\fIarchive\fR specification. (same as \fBi\fR). -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`c\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "c" -\&\fICreate\fR the archive. The specified \fIarchive\fR is always -created if it did not exist, when you request an update. But a warning is -issued unless you specify in advance that you expect to create it, by -using this modifier. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`f\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "f" -Truncate names in the archive. \s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR will normally permit file -names of any length. This will cause it to create archives which are -not compatible with the native \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR program on some systems. If -this is a concern, the \fBf\fR modifier may be used to truncate file -names when putting them in the archive. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`i\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "i" -Insert new files \fIbefore\fR an existing member of the -archive. If you use the modifier \fBi\fR, the name of an existing archive -member must be present as the \fIrelpos\fR argument, before the -\&\fIarchive\fR specification. (same as \fBb\fR). -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`l\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "l" -This modifier is accepted but not used. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`N\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "N" -Uses the \fIcount\fR parameter. This is used if there are multiple -entries in the archive with the same name. Extract or delete instance -\&\fIcount\fR of the given name from the archive. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`o\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "o" -Preserve the \fIoriginal\fR dates of members when extracting them. If -you do not specify this modifier, files extracted from the archive -are stamped with the time of extraction. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`P\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "P" -Use the full path name when matching names in the archive. \s-1GNU\s0 -\&\f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR can not create an archive with a full path name (such archives -are not \s-1POSIX\s0 complaint), but other archive creators can. This option -will cause \s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR to match file names using a complete path -name, which can be convenient when extracting a single file from an -archive created by another tool. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`s\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "s" -Write an object-file index into the archive, or update an existing one, -even if no other change is made to the archive. You may use this modifier -flag either with any operation, or alone. Running \fBar s\fR on an -archive is equivalent to running \fBranlib\fR on it. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`S\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "S" -Do not generate an archive symbol table. This can speed up building a -large library in several steps. The resulting archive can not be used -with the linker. In order to build a symbol table, you must omit the -\&\fBS\fR modifier on the last execution of \fBar\fR, or you must run -\&\fBranlib\fR on the archive. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`u\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "u" -Normally, \fBar r\fR... inserts all files -listed into the archive. If you would like to insert \fIonly\fR those -of the files you list that are newer than existing members of the same -names, use this modifier. The \fBu\fR modifier is allowed only for the -operation \fBr\fR (replace). In particular, the combination \fBqu\fR is -not allowed, since checking the timestamps would lose any speed -advantage from the operation \fBq\fR. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`v\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "v" -This modifier requests the \fIverbose\fR version of an operation. Many -operations display additional information, such as filenames processed, -when the modifier \fBv\fR is appended. -.Ip "\f(CW\*(C`V\*(C'\fR" 4 -.IX Item "V" -This modifier shows the version number of \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR. -.PP -\&\f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR ignores an initial option spelt \f(CW\*(C`\-X32_64\*(C'\fR, for -compatibility with \s-1AIX\s0. The behaviour produced by this option is the -default for \s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR. \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR does not support any of the other -\&\f(CW\*(C`\-X\*(C'\fR options; in particular, it does not support \f(CW\*(C`\-X32\*(C'\fR -which is the default for \s-1AIX\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.IX Header "SEE ALSO" -\&\fInm\fR\|(1), \fIranlib\fR\|(1), and the Info entries for \fIbinutils\fR. -.SH "COPYRIGHT" -.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" -Copyright (c) 1991, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. -.PP -Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document -under the terms of the \s-1GNU\s0 Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 -or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; -with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no -Back-Cover Texts.
