6.3 Invoking the Archiver
To invoke the archiver, enter:
ar500 [ –]command [option ] libname [filename
1
... filename
n
]
ar500 is the command that invokes the archiver.
command
tells the archiver how to manipulate the library members.
A command can be preceded by an optional hyphen. You
must use one of the following commands when you invoke
the archiver, but you can use only one command per
invocation. Valid archiver commands are:
a adds the specified files to the library. This command does
not replace an existing member that has the same name
as an added file; it simply
appends new members to the
end of the archive.
d deletes the specified members from the library.
r replaces the specified members in the library. If you don’t
specify filenames, the archiver replaces the library mem-
bers with files of the same name in the current directory.
If the specified file is not found in the library, the archiver
adds it instead of replacing it.
t prints a table of contents of the library. If you specify file-
names, only those files are listed. If you don’t specify any
filenames, the archiver lists all the members in the speci-
fied library.
x extracts the specified files. If you don’t specify member
names, the archiver extracts all library members. When
the archiver extracts a member, it simply copies the mem-
ber into the current directory; it
doesn’t remove it from the
library.
