Bug ID: 28759
Summary: ar: Add --thin to avoid 'T' conflict with X/Open
System Interface
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

Target Milestone: ---

-T
[XSI] [Option Start] Allow filename truncation of extracted files whose archive
names are longer than the file system can support. By default, extracting a
file with a name that is too long shall be an error; a diagnostic message shall
be written and the file shall not be extracted. [Option End]
FreeBSD ar/macOS ar/elfutils (eu-ar) appear to take this interpretation. For
portability, the 'T' thin archive semantics should be discouraged in favor of
--thin.
