When modifier options are used in combination, the preceding hyphen can be
omitted for all but the first option specified.
position-name
is the name of a file in the archive that is used for relative positioning. See the
descriptions of the -m and -r options.
-v Give verbose output.
•
When used with the -d, -r, or -x options, this option causes
ar to write the name of each file involved in archiving
operations.
•
When used with -p, this option causes ar to write the name of
each file to the standard output before writing the file itself to the
standard output.
•
When used with -t, this option causes ar to include a long
listing of information about each file within the archive, including
access, ownership, size, and date-and-time information. The
specific content of the listing is as follows:
access info, user ID, group ID, member size,
month, day, hour, minute, year, Filename
When used with -t on Windows platforms, the ownership fields
are shown (although shown as zero), because Windows
provides for ownership, but access information for group and
other is shown as “no access,” because these fields are not
relevant under Windows. ar makes no use of the file access
information saved for archive members.
-Wfiletype Display the file type. When this option is used with the -tv option,
ar displays [elf], [tns], or nothing after the filename. This can
be useful to discover the cause of the problem when ar fails to
generate a symbol table because the archive contains a mix of TNS
and TNS/R files. This option is available in the OSS and Guardian
environments.
