RZ_AR(1)

🎀 RZ_AR(1) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the RZ_AR(1) page — General Commands Manual energy, but make it cute. this is the glow-up of rz-ar, and she's here to spill all the archive tea 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rz-ar — list and extract members from .a and .lib archives 🗂️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rz-ar [-hlqv] [-o outdir] archive [member ...]

that's the whole vibe, no cap. archive first, then whatever members you're feeling 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so first thing's first: this command is part of the Rizin project 👑 iconic, we know.

rz-ar lists or extracts archive members from .a and .lib files. and like, she's thoughtful — she creates missing directories in the output path automatically. no "oops directory doesn't exist" meltdown, she just handles it 🫶

when no member filters are provided, all members get processed. when you pass one or more member arguments, only the matching members get processed. simple as that 💫

the options, bestie 📋

• -h — shows the usage help message. your little "help me help you" moment 🙈
• -l — list matching members only. no extracting, just a lil peek 👀
• -o outdir — sets the extraction output directory (default: current directory). pick your destination, main character 💅
• -q — quiet mode. she stops talking. rare for us gen z, honestly 💀
• -v — shows version information. know your queen's era ⭐

💜 EXIT STATUS 💜

• 0 — operation completed successfully. ate. no crumbs 🔥
• 1 — invalid arguments, open failure, no matches, or extraction failures. it's giving chaos, something went wrong 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

list all members — the full tour:

rz-ar -l libfoo.a

extract all members into current directory — yup, right here, right now:

rz-ar libfoo.a

extract selected members into an output directory — picky and organized, we love her:

rz-ar -o out libfoo.a foo.o bar.o
