AR(1)							      General Commands Manual							     AR(1)

NAME

       ar, aal - archivers

SYNOPSIS

       ar [dmpqrtx][abciluv] [posname] archive [file ...]
       aal [dpqrtx][clv] archive [file ...]

EXAMPLES

       ar r libc.a sort.s  # Replace sort.s in libc.a

       ar rb a.s libc.a b.s
			   # Insert b.s before a.s in libc.a

DESCRIPTION

       Ar allows groups of files to be put together into a single archive.  It is normally used for libraries of compiled procedures.  Aal is like
       ar, but is to be used with the ACK compiler.  The following keys are allowed:

	 d: Delete. Ar will delete the named members.
	 m: Move named files. Ar expects a, b, or i to be specified.
	 p: Print the named files (list them on stdout)
	 q: Quickly append to the end of the archive file.
	 r: Replace (append when not in archive).
	 t: Print the archive's table of contents.
	 x: Extract

       The keys may optionally concatencated with one or more of the following:

	 a: After posname
	 b: Before posname
	 c: Create  (suppresses creation message)
	 i: Before posname
	 l: Local temporary file for work instead of /tmp/ar.$$$$$
	 u: Replace only if dated later than member in archive
	 v: Verbose
