NAME:

          nar -- new archiver

SYNOPSIS

nar libfile -s1 file1.1 file1.2 ... file1.n .... -sm ... filem.n


DESCRIPTION

          nar  is  a  revision  of unix ar.  Its advantages are a
more versatile command format, and the ability to store more than
65k bytes of data in an archive.  the action of nar is determined
by a left to right scan of the command line.  The valid keys are:


          -d file1 ... filen       delete the files from the library

          -a file1 ... filen       append the files to the library
				   (this is the only way to initially
				    create a library)

          -x file1 ... filen       extract the named files; no files given, all
                                   are extracted

          -r file1 ... filen       replace the named files (must be in order).

          -m file1 ... filen       replace named files that have changed mod
                                   dates. (files must be in same order as lib).

          -i key f1 ...filen       insert the named files before file "key"

          -l                       list the archive
