What it does: - Switch again to using BSD ar(1) by default, but provide a knob to use GNU ar(1) as the system ar(1). (Option WITH_BSDAR is replaced with option WITH_GNUAR.) - Install BSD ar(1) as bsdar(1) with the necessary links: bsdranlib(1), ar(1), and ranlib(1) (the latter two unless we build WITH_GNUAR). - ar.1 moved to bsdar.1 along with some bugfixing. - Don't proceed with bsdar(1) if option WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN is set. - Handle upgrades nicely: use GNU ar(1) during the build on older systems, and use BSD ar(1) on newer systems. For now, always bootstrap BSD ar(1) on newer systems during the build (in case some bugs pop up), but after some period of testing, we can stop unconditionally bootstrapping it. Please review.

editing operations. -If a symbol table is present in an archive, it will be -kept upto-date by subsequent operations on the archive (excepting -the quick update specified by the -.Fl q -option). -.Pp -The -.Nm ranlib -utility is used to add an archive symbol table -to an existing archive. -.Sh OPTIONS -The -.Nm -utility supports the following options: -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Fl a Ar

-.Ar member-before . -When used with option -.Fl r -this option specifies that the files specified by arguments -.Ar files ... -are added before the archive member named by argument -.Ar member-before . -.It Fl c -Suppress the informational message printed when a new archive is -created using the -.Fl r -and -.Fl q -options. -.It Fl C -Prevent extracted files from replacing like-named files -in the

new contents of the archive. -.It Fl f -Synonymous with option -.Fl T . -.It Fl i Ar member-before -Synonymous with option -.Fl b . -.It Fl j -Compress the resulting archive with -.Xr bzip2 1 . -.It Fl m -Move archive members specified by arguments -.Ar files ... -within the archive. -If a position has been specified by one of the -.Fl a , -.Fl b -or -.Fl i -options, the members are moved to before or after the specified -position. -If no position has been specified, the specified members are moved -to the end of the archive. -If the archive has a symbol table, it is updated to reflect the -new contents of the archive. -.It Fl o -Preserve the original modification times of members when extracting -them. -.It Fl p -Write the contents of the specified archive members named by -arguments -.Ar files ... -to standard output. -If no members were specified, the contents of all the files in the -archive are written in the order they appear in the archive. -.It Fl q -Append the files specified by arguments -.Ar files ... -to the archive specified by argument -.Ar archive -without checking if the files already exist in the archive and -without updating the archive's symbol table. -If the archive file -.Ar archive -does not already exist, a new archive is created. -However, to be compatible with GNU -.Nm , -.Fl q -is implemented as a synonym for -.Fl r . -.It Fl r -Replace (add) the files specified by arguments -.Ar files ... -in the archive specified by argument -.Ar archive , -creating the archive if necessary. -Files that replace existing files do not change the order of files -within the archive. -If a file named in arguments -.Ar files ... -does not exist, existing members in the archive that match that -name are not changed. -New files are added to the end of the archive unless one of the -positioning options -.Fl a , -.Fl b -or -.Fl i -is specified. -The archive symbol table, if it exists, is updated to reflect the -new state of the archive. -.It Fl s -Add an archive symbol table (see -.Xr ar 5 ) -to the archive specified by argument -.Ar archive . -Invoking -.Nm -with the -.Fl s -option alone is equivalent to invoking -.Nm ranlib . -.It Fl t -List the files specified by arguments -.Ar files ... -in the order in which they appear in the archive, one per line. -If no files are specified, all files in the archive are listed. -.It Fl T -Use only the first fifteen characters of the archive member name or -command line file name argument when naming archive members. -.It Fl u -Conditionally update the archive or extract members. -When used with the -.Fl r -option, files named by arguments -.Ar files ... -will be replaced in the archive if they are newer than their -archived versions. -When used with the -.Fl x -option, the members specified by arguments -.Ar files ... -will be extracted only if they are newer than the corresponding -files in the file system. -.It Fl v -Provide verbose output. -When used with the -.Fl d , -.Fl m , -.Fl q -or -.Fl x -options, -.Nm -gives a file-by-file description of the archive modification being -performed, which consists of three white-space seperated fields: -the option letter, a dash -.Dq "-" , -and the file name. -When used with the -.Fl r -option, -.Nm -displays the description as above, but the initial letter is an -.Dq a -if the file is added to the archive, or an -.Dr r -if the file replaces a file already in the archive. -When used with the -.Fl p -option, the name of the file enclosed in -.Dq < -and -.Dq > -characters is written to standard output preceded by a single newline -character and followed by two newline characters. -The contents of the named file follow the file name. -When used with the -.Fl t -option, -.Nm -displays eight whitespace separated fields: -the file permissions as displayed by -.Xr strmode 3 , -decimal user and group IDs separated by a slash ( -.Dq / Ns ) , -the file size in bytes, the file modification time in -.Xr strftime 3 -format -.Dq "%b %e %H:%M %Y" , -and the name of the file. -.It Fl x -Extract archive members specified by arguments -.Ar files ... -into the current directory. -If no members have been specified, extract all

+displays the description as above, but the initial letter is an +.Dq a +if the file is added to the archive, or an +.Dq r +if the file replaces a file already in the archive. +When used with the +.Fl

of the named file follow the file name. +When used with the +.Fl t +option, +.Nm +displays eight whitespace separated fields: +the file permissions as displayed by +.Xr strmode 3 , +decimal user and
