ARCV(1)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 ARCV(1)



NAME
     arcv - convert archives to new format

SYNOPSIS
     arcv [ -t ] filename ...

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>''.

OPTIONS
     -t  Put temporary file in /usr/tmp instead of /tmp.

EXAMPLES
     The following example converts the file old.a to the new
     archive format.



          arcv old.a

     /usr/tmp/arc*            Temporary copy of the archive (with
                              -t option)

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

                    terminated.
