ar

Create, modify, and extract from archives (`.a`, `.so`, `.o`).

More information.

• Extract all members from an archive:

ar -x {path/to/file.a}

• List the members of an archive:

ar -t {path/to/file.a}

• Replace or add files to an archive:

ar -r {path/to/file.a} {path/to/file1.o} {path/to/file2.o}

• Insert an object file index (equivalent to using `ranlib`):

ar -s {path/to/file.a}

• Create an archive with files and an accompanying object file index:

ar -rs {path/to/file.a} {path/to/file1.o} {path/to/file2.o}
