12 | ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
|
---|
13 | extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
|
---|
14 | a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
|
---|
15 | retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
|
---|
16 | The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
|
---|
17 | and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
|
---|
18 | extraction.
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information
|
---|
21 | see long filename support).
|
