#7 ARCHIVER ARCHIVE#

The archiver responds as follows: => new archive 'function.lib' => building new archive 'function.lib'

If you want to create a library called function.lib that contains the files sine.obj, cos.obj, and flt.obj, enter:ДЄrmar -a function sine.obj cos.obj flt.obj.

The following are examples of typical archiver operations: If you attempt to delete, replace, or extract a member whose name is the same as another library member, the archiver deletes, replaces, or extracts the first library member with that name. It is possible (but not desirable) for a library to contain several members with the same name. When you enter a filename, you must enter a complete filename including extension, if applicable. These files can be existing library members or new files to be added to the library. Names individual files to be manipulated. If you do not specify an extension for libname, the archiver uses the default extension. Names the archive library to be built or modified.

(verbose) provides a file-by-file description of the creation of a new library from an old library and its members. You must use the r command with the -u option to specify which members to replace. Replaces library members only if the replacement has a more recent modification date. (This option is valid only with the a, r, and d commands.) Prints a list of the global symbols that are defined in the library. (quiet) suppresses the banner and status messages. The hyphen is optional for archiver options only. To use options, combine them with a command for example, to use the a command and the s option, enter -as or as. In addition to one of the commands, you can specify options. When the archiver extracts a member, it simply copies the member into the current directory it does not remove it from the library. If you do not specify member names, the archiver extracts all library members. If you do not specify any filenames, the archiver lists all the members in the specified library.Д®xtracts the specified files. If you specify filenames, only those files are listed. Prints a table of contents of the library. If the specified file is not found in the library, the archiver adds it instead of replacing it. If you do not specify filenames, the archiver replaces the library members with files of the same name in the current directory. Replaces the specified members in 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.Дeletes the specified members from the library.

(See Example 7-1 for an example using an archiver command file.)ДЄdds the specified files to the library. Use a at the beginning of a line in the command file to include comments. You can use this command to avoid limitations on command line length imposed by the host operating system. The archiver commands are as the contents of the specified file instead of command line entries. You must use one of the following commands when you invoke the archiver, but you can use only one command per invocation. A command can be preceded by an optional hyphen.

#7 ARCHIVER HOW TO#

Tells the archiver how to manipulate the existing library members and any specified. Is the command that invokes the archiver. Section 6 discusses macros and macro libraries in detail, while this chapter explains how to use the archiver to build libraries. mlib directive during assembly to specify that macro library to be searched for the macros that you call. You can create several source files, each of which contains a single macro, and use the archiver to collect these macros into a single, functional group. You can also use the archiver to build macro libraries. The linker searches the library and includes members that resolve external references. You can then specify the object library as linker input. For example, you can write several arithmetic routines, assemble them, and use the archiver to collect the object files into a single, logical group. One of the most useful applications of the archiver is building libraries of object modules. Both the assembler and the linker accept archive libraries as input the assembler can use libraries that contain individual source files, and the linker can use libraries that contain individual object files.
