- .SH NAME
- arch \- archive and library maintainer
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B arch
- key afile name ...
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .I Arch
- maintains groups of files
- combined into a single archive file.
- The Amsterdam compiler kit provides its own archiver with a
- fixed, machine-independent format, much like the UNIX-V7
- archive format.
- .PP
- .I Key
- is one character from the set
- .B adrtpx,
- optionally concatenated with
- one or more of
- .B vlc.
- .I Afile
- is the archive file.
- The
- .I names
- are constituent files in the archive file.
- The meanings of the
- .I key
- characters are:
- .TP
- .B d
- Delete the named files from the archive file.
- .TP
- .B a
- Append the named files to the archive file.
- .TP
- .B r
- Replace the named files in the archive file.
- New files are placed at the end.
- .TP
- .B t
- Print a table of contents of the archive file.
- If no names are given, all files in the archive are listed.
- If names are given, only those files are listed.
- .TP
- .B p
- Print the named files in the archive.
- .TP
- .B x
- Extract the named files.
- If no names are given, all files in the archive are
- extracted.
- In neither case does
- .B x
- alter the archive file.
- .TP
- .B v
- Verbose.
- Under the verbose option,
- .I arch
- gives a file-by-file
- description of the making of a
- new archive file from the old archive and the constituent files.
- When used with
- .B t,
- it gives a long listing of all information about the files.
- When used with
- .BR p ,
- it precedes each file with a name.
- .TP
- .B l
- Local.
- Normally
- .I arch
- places its temporary files in the directory /tmp.
- This option causes them to be placed in the local directory.
- .TP
- .B c
- Create. Normally
- .I arch
- will create
- .I afile
- when it needs to.
- The create option supresses the normal message that is produced when
- .I afile
- is created.
- .SH FILES
- /tmp/ar.* temporaries
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- em_ass(1), arch(5),
- .SH BUGS
- If the same file is mentioned twice in an argument list,
- it may be put in the archive twice.
