=head1 NAME

B<shtool-arx> - B<GNU shtool> ar(1) extensional command

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<shtool arx>
[B<-t>|B<--trace>]
[B<-C>|B<--command> I<cmd>]
I<op>
I<archive>
I<file> [I<file> ...]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<shtool arx> is a wrapper around the archiving tool ar(1). It provides
the ability to create archives out of existing archives, i.e., if one of
I<file> matches "C<*.a>", the archive member files of I<file> are used
instead of I<file> itself.

The trick of this command is the automatic handling of archive members
which is especially interesting if one wants to construct a (usually
top-level) library archive out of pre-built sub-library archives
(usually staying inside subdirs) in a large source tree. For B<GNU
libtool> based projects, a similar functionality is provided by B<GNU
libtool> internally, too.

=head1 OPTIONS

The following command line options are available.

=over 4

=item B<-t>, B<--trace>

Shows the actually involved shell commands.

=item B<-C>, B<--command> I<cmd>

Set the used ar(1) command to I<cmd> instead of just "ar" (searched in C<$PATH>).

=back

=head1 EXAMPLE

 #   Makefile
 AR=ar
 RANLIB=ranlib
   :
 OBJS=foo.o bar.o
 LIBS=baz/libbaz.a quux/libquux.a
   :
 libfoo.a: $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
     shtool arx -C $(AR) rc libfoo.a $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
     $(RANLIB) libfoo.a

=head1 HISTORY

The B<GNU shtool> B<arx> command was originally written by Ralf S.
Engelschall E<lt>rse@engelschall.comE<gt> in 1999 for B<GNU shtool>. It
was prompted by need to build libraries out of sub-libraries inside the
B<OSSP> project.
