The ar utility allows you to:
•
Create archives from groups of files
•
Modify archives by:
°
Adding files
°
Extracting files
°
Deleting files
°
Replacing files
When an archive contains one or more native (TNS/R) files, nld can use that archive
as an object file library. If an archive contains both TNS and TNS/R files, nld cannot
use that archive. If a mixed file is created on a Windows platform, it is not flagged as
erroneous, but only because Windows does not recognize TNS files as object files.
The ar utility runs in the following environments:
•
Guardian
•
Open System Services (OSS)
