* ar: accept but ignore 'T' optionEd Maste2022-01-031-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In previous versions of BSD ar -T was an alias for -f -- use only the first 15 characters of archive member names. In GNU ar and LLVM ar -T creates a thin archive. The -f / old BSD ar -T functionality is not particularly useful, and ignoring -T still results in a usable and compatible (but not thin) archive. An exp-run found a few ports invoking ar -T but they all expect thin archives. In addition, -T will be used to specify thin archives after a migration to LLVM-ar.

* ar: deprecate -T optionEd Maste2021-12-291-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Other ar implementations (GNU, LLVM) use -T to mean thin archive rather than use only the first fifteen characters of the archive member name. We support both -T and -f for this, with -f documented as an alias of -T. An exp-run showed that the ports invoking `ar -T` expect thin archives, not truncated names. Switch -f to be the documented flag for this behaviour, and emit a warning when -T is used. The warning will be changed to an error in the future (in main), once ports no longer use -T.

* ar: enable reproducible output by default when invoked as 'ar -s'Ed Maste2016-06-161-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ar output is already deterministic by default for ar -q and ar -r, and when invoked as ranlib. Make ar -s equivalent to ranlib and enable deterministic output by default in that case too.

* ar: enable deterministic mode by defaultEd Maste2015-07-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ar cannot handle UIDs with more than 6 digits, and storing the mtime, uid, gid and mode provides little to negative value anyhow for ar's uses. Turn on deterministic (-D) mode by default; it can be disabled by the user with -U.

* ar: add -U (unique) option to disable -D (deterministic) modeEd Maste2015-07-241-1/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is required in order for us to support deterministic mode by default. If multiple -D or -U options are specified on the command line, the final one takes precedence. GNU ar also uses -U for this. An equivalent change will be applied to ELF Tool Chain's version of ar.

Option -j and -z is now accepted but ignored. Compressed ar(1) archives are not useful without a ld(1) that can read them. Also, the current ar(1) compression scheme prevents random access of archive members and needs to be redesigned anyway.
