Archiver File Searches

File searches are important in the archiver's process. The archiver supports
relative and absolute directory names, default directories, and user-speci-
fied directories for file search paths. File searches include:
• Specified path – If you include relative or absolute path information
in a file name, the archiver searches only in that location for the
file.
• Default directory – If you do not include path information in the
file name, the archiver searches for the file in the current working
directory.

Tagging an Archive with Version Information

The archiver supports embedding version information into a library built

Basic Version Information

You can "tag" an archive with a version. The easiest way to tag an archive
is using the
-t
ment (the version number). For example,
elfar –t 1.2.3 lib.dlb
The switch can be used in addition to any other
–t
example, a version can be assigned at the same time that a library is
created:
elfar –c –t "Steve's sandbox Rev 1" lib.dlb *.doj
To hold version information, the archiver creates an object file,
__version.doj
file is not made visible to the user.
