Name

arcv − convert archives to new format

Syntax

/etc/arcv file ... 

Description

The arcv command converts archive files from 32v and Third Berkeley editions to a new portable format. For further information, see ar() and ar(.). 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 “!<arch>” as their first line. 

Files

/tmp/v* Temporary copy
