r.ar

Choose the right ar for the specified platform.

By default, the script uses the ar for the platform on which it is called. It can be used for a foreign architecture only if the needed crosskit is installed.

Usage

 
 r.ar  
-arch Destination architecture (HP-UX, IRIX64, SX6, Linux, Linux_alpha, AIX) of the library. For the SX6, sxar of the appropriate crosskit will be used. If this key is used, it must be the first of all options.
[options of ar] Standard ar options (those options must follow the key -arch if used)

Examples

1. Use of ar for the local machine to list the content of libtest.a

r.ar tv libtest.a

2. Use of ar for SX6 to add test.o to libtest.a

r.ar -arch SX6 rv libtest.a test.o
