NAME

arcv − convert archives to new format

SYNOPSIS

/etc/arcv file ... 

DESCRIPTION

Arcv converts archive files (see ar(1), ar(5)) from 32v and Third Berkeley editions to a new portable 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

/tmp/v∗, temporary copy
