Series 200, 300, and 500 Only

NAME

arcv − convert archives to new format

SYNOPSIS

arcv file ... 

DESCRIPTION

Arcv converts archive files (see ar(1), and ar(5)) from a pre−HP-UX 5.0 format to the HP-UX 5.0 portable archive format.  The conversion is done in place, and the command refuses to alter a file not in old archive format. 

Old archives are marked with a magic number of 0177545 at the start; new archives have a first line “!<arch>”. 

FILES
