This does not seem to work though. See below an example where 2 files (with different atimes) are archived and extracted somewhere else. The last line of output shows that the atime was not preserved.

freebsd-yyfix
YYFIX(1) BSD General Commands Manual YYFIX(1)
NAME
yyfix -- extract tables from y.tab.c
SYNOPSIS
yyfix file [tables]
DESCRIPTION
Programs have historically used a script (often named ``:yyfix'') to extract tables from the yacc(1) generated file y.tab.c. As the names of
the tables generated by the current version of yacc(1) are different from those of historical versions of yacc(1), the shell script yyfix is
provided to simplify the transition.
The first (and required) argument to yyfix is the name of the file where the extracted tables should be stored.
If further command line arguments are specified, they are taken as the list of tables to be extracted. Otherwise, yyfix attempts to deter-
mine if the y.tab.c file is from an old or new yacc(1), and extracts the appropriate tables.
The tables ``yyexca'', ``yyact'', ``yypact'', ``yypgo'', ``yyr1'', ``yyr2'', ``yychk'', and ``yydef'' are extracted from historical versions
of yacc(1).
The tables ``yylhs'', ``yylen'', ``yydefred'', ``yydgoto'', ``yysindex'', ``yyrindex'', ``yygindex'', ``yytable'', ``yyname'', ``yyrule'',
and ``yycheck'', are extracted from the current version of yacc(1).
FILES
y.tab.c File from which tables are extracted.
SEE ALSO
yacc(1)
HISTORY
The yyfix command first appeared in 4.4BSD.
