        !            13: Archives are  maintained by the ar  command.  Usually, an archive
        !            14: is a library of object files used by the linker ld.

        !            16: The header ar.h describes the format of an archive.  All archives
        !            17: start with a magic number  ARMAG, which identifies the file as an
        !            18: archive.   The members  of the archive  follow the  magic number,
        !            19: each preceded by the structure ar_hdr:

        !            38: by ar_size bytes, which are the data of the file.
        !            39: 
        !            40: To enhance  the performance of ld, the  command ranlib provides a
        !            41: random library facility.  ranlib produces archives that contain a
        !            42: special entry named _ _.SYMDEF at the beginning.
        !            43:

        !            45: in canonical form to  ease portability.  See canon.h for more in-
