Hello,
When I invode ar faulty say print only the name of it , I think this is a
faulty invokation because the man page says in the
synopsis section ar [--plugin name] [-X32_64] [--][mod [relpos] [count]]
archive [member...] If I'm right ar archive is requied
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$ ar
Usage: ar [emulation options] [--plugin <name>]
[-]{dmpqrstx}[abcfilNoPsSuvV] [member-name] [count] archive-file file...
ar -M [<mri-script]
commands:
d - delete file(s) from the archive
m[ab] - move file(s) in the archive
p - print file(s) found in the archive
q[f] - quick append file(s) to the archive
r[ab][f][u] - replace existing or insert new file(s) into the archive
t - display contents of archive
x[o] - extract file(s) from the archive
command specific modifiers:
[a] - put file(s) after [member-name]
[b] - put file(s) before [member-name] (same as [i])
[D] - use zero for timestamps and uids/gids
[N] - use instance [count] of name
[f] - truncate inserted file names
[P] - use full path names when matching
[o] - preserve original dates
[u] - only replace files that are newer than current archive
contents
generic modifiers:
[c] - do not warn if the library had to be created
[s] - create an archive index (cf. ranlib)
[S] - do not build a symbol table
[T] - make a thin archive
[v] - be verbose
[V] - display the version number
@<file> - read options from <file>
optional:
--plugin <p> - load the specified plugin
emulation options:
No emulation specific options
ar: supported targets: elf32-powerpc aixcoff-rs6000 elf32-powerpcle ppcboot
elf32-little elf32-big elf64-powerpc elf64-powerpcle aixcoff64-rs6000
elf64-little elf64-big elf32-spu plugin srec symbolsrec verilog tekhex
binary ihex
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$
It prints then a unclear Usage: in which first the member-name and then the
archive-file is mentioned. but if I invoke it like this
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$ ar -t hello_2.4-3_powerpc.deb | grep
control --
control.tar.gz
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$ ar -xo control.tar.gz
hello_2.4-3_powerpc.deb
ar: control.tar.gz: File format not recognized
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$
further it seems to write only to the standarerror strem if I invoke it like
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$ ar > ar
There is nothing in the file ar but if I invoke it like:
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$ ar 2> ar
There is the description with wrong synopsis section in the file ar
further if invoked faulty like this:
josef@josef-laptop:~/src/hello$ ar --help
It readouts on the standard output and standard error stream but with an
additional line which says "Report bugs to <
http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla> and still the faulty synopsis section.
What do you think is it a bug?
regards
Josef Vukovic
