From: man ar;
The GNU ar program creates, modifies, and extracts from
archives. An archive is a single file holding a collecÂ
tion of other files in a structure that makes it possible
to retrieve the original individual files (called members
of the archive).
...
ar is considered a binary utility because archives of this
sort are most often used as libraries holding commonly
needed subroutines.
...
Haven't used it myself, but there should be examples of its use in the
makefiles for gcc, etc. (I've seen "ar" commands whiz by, and they
seemed to be doing roughly what you intend, as far as a fleeting glimpse
can tell.)
At least, it's worth a look.
Erik
