- About
- -----
-
- This is the free version of LibFile.
-
- Libfile is an archiver tool for building libraries
- from AOF files that can be passed to link/ld.
- It is a free replacement for the libfile program provided
- with Acorn's C/C++ and is intended to be a supplement to
- the gcc package.
-
- To make the use of LibFile easier and more understandable its
- behaviour differs from the original tool in the following cases:
-
- - A file that is added to a library keeps its original timestamp
- and is restored to this when it is extracted.
-
- - A library always has a symbol table that is kept up to date
- on every operation, simply ignoring non-AOF files.
- There is no need for the option -o anymore.
- If you want to add a symbol table to an existing library use
- 'libfile -c <Library>'.
-
- - LibFile always creates all directories that are included in a
- filename when the file is extracted.
-
- - Extracted files are always set to type 0xFFD (Data), since there
- is no filetype information in the library.
- (Don't know what the original LibFile does)
-
-
- Ultra-short introduction
- ------------------------
-
- The command for creating a simple library is:
-
- libfile -c library file1 file2 file3 ...
-
- Use libfile without any parameters for a short summary of
- available options.
