ZMK.LIBRARY.A(5)

💖 zmk.Library.A(5) — the vibe ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for zmk.Library.A, from section 5 of the zmk manual (that's the file-formats-and-misc zone, iykyk). It's a template for compiling C/C++/ObjC static libraries and honestly it's a little baby of a manpage, but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Library.A — literally just a template for compiling C/C++/ObjC static libraries. that's the whole job. no cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole situation, verbatim, don't touch anything:

include z.mk

# libName is any valid identifier.
libName.a.Sources = hello.c
$(eval $(call ZMK.Expand,Library.A,libName.a))

and yeah, <lavender>libName</lavender> can be any valid identifier, the comment in the code says so, so we say so. periodt. 💖

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so. bestie. real talk.

This manual page is a stub.

it is what it is, we're not gonna pretend otherwise. 🙈

but here's the actual important tea: when the configure script gets invoked with --disable-static, this template behaves as if it was empty. like, poof, nothing there, no static libs for you, it's giving invisible. 🦋

---

💫 TARGETS 💫

this section is empty in the original, bestie. nothing to see here, no targets listed. 💀 (not me leaving a section completely blank — iconic behaviour honestly)

---

🧚 VARIABLES 🧚

also empty! literally not one variable documented in this section. the audacity. the minimalism. the main character energy of saying nothing at all. ✨

---

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

yep — empty too. no lore, no backstory, no origin story arc. we simply do not know the history. 😭

---

👑 AUTHORS 👑

• Zygmunt Krynicki <me@zygoon.pl> 💜

that's the one and only legend responsible for this whole thing. shoutout. 🫶

🌸 the cute sign-off 🌸

this little gem comes from zmk version 0.5.1, and the date on it is Feb 2, 2021 — so it's a vintage, bestie, an elder. it lives in zmk.Library.A(5) in the LOCAL manual section. go forth and build those static libraries. slay. 💅✨🎀
