If the OBJECT_MODE environment variable is not set otherwise, this is the default mode. -X64 Work with object files compiled for 64-bit usage. -X32_64 Work with object files compiled for either 64- or 32-bit usage. The ar program examines each object file to determine its mode. m Moves the named files to some other position in the library archive r Replaces a named file if it already appears in the library archive ar_options Other ar command options. Refer to the AIX Version 4 Commands Reference for more information. archive_file.a Name of the library archive file to be produced nonshared_file Name of a nonshared object file shared_file Name of a shared file created with the makeC++SharedLib command
Example
To prepare a file priority_lib.a with
shared libraries sharedlib450.o and sharedlib200.o and nonshared
file fileUV.o all at different priorities, enter the command:
ar rv prio_lib.a fileUV.o sharedlib450.o sharedlib200.o
where:
rv Are two ar options: r replaces a named file if it already appears in the library, and v writes to standard output a verbose file-by-file description of the making of the new library prio_lib.a Name for the new library archive file that will contain the shared and nonshared library files and their priority levels fileUV.o Name of a nonshared file sharedlib450.o Name of an object file (prepared with the makeC++SharedLib program) that holds shared object files and their priority levels sharedlib200.o Name of an object file (prepared with the makeC++SharedLib program) that holds other shared object files and their priority levels
