32.SH DESCRIPTION
33The GNU \c
34.B ar\c
35\& program creates, modifies, and extracts from
36archives. An \c
37.I archive\c
38\& is a single file holding a collection of
39other files in a structure that makes it possible to retrieve
40the original individual files (called \c
41.I members\c
42\& of the archive).
43
44The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner, and
45group are preserved in the archive, and may be reconstituted on
46extraction.
47
48GNU \c
49.B ar\c
50\& can maintain archives whose members have names of any
51length; however, depending on how \c
52.B ar\c
53\& is configured on your
54system, a limit on member-name length may be imposed (for compatibility
55with archive formats maintained with other tools). If it exists, the
56limit is often 15 characters (typical of formats related to a.out) or 16
57characters (typical of formats related to coff).
58
59\c
60.B ar\c
61\& is considered a binary utility because archives of this sort
62are most often used as \c
63.I libraries\c
64\& holding commonly needed
65subroutines.
66
67\c
68.B ar\c
69\& will create an index to the symbols defined in relocatable
70object modules in the archive when you specify the modifier `\|\c
71.B s\c
72\|'.
73Once created, this index is updated in the archive whenever \c
74.B ar\c
75\&
76makes a change to its contents (save for the `\|\c
77.B q\c
78\|' update operation).
79An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the library, and
80allows routines in the library to call each other without regard to
81their placement in the archive.
82
83You may use `\|\c
84.B nm \-s\c
85\|' or `\|\c
86.B nm \-\-print\-armap\c
87\|' to list this index
88table. If an archive lacks the table, another form of \c
89.B ar\c
90\& called
91\c
92.B ranlib\c
93\& can be used to add just the table.
94
95\c
96.B ar\c
97\& insists on at least two arguments to execute: one
98keyletter specifying the \c
99.I operation\c
100\& (optionally accompanied by other
101keyletters specifying \c
102.I modifiers\c
103\&), and the archive name to act on.
104
105Most operations can also accept further \c
106.I files\c
107\& arguments,
108specifying particular files to operate on.
109
110.SH OPTIONS
111GNU \c
112.B ar\c
113\& allows you to mix the operation code \c
114.I p\c
115\& and modifier
116flags \c
117.I mod\c
118\& in any order, within the first command-line argument.
119
120If you wish, you may begin the first command-line argument with a
121dash.
122
123The \c
124.I p\c
125\& keyletter specifies what operation to execute; it may be
126any of the following, but you must specify only one of them:
127
128.TP
129.B d
130\c
131.I Delete\c
132\& modules from the archive. Specify the names of modules to
133be deleted as \c
134.I files\c
135\&; the archive is untouched if you
136specify no files to delete.
137
138If you specify the `\|\c
139.B v\c
140\|' modifier, \c
141.B ar\c
142\& will list each module
143as it is deleted.
144
145.TP
146.B m
147Use this operation to \c
148.I move\c
149\& members in an archive.
150
151The ordering of members in an archive can make a difference in how
152programs are linked using the library, if a symbol is defined in more
153than one member.
154
155If no modifiers are used with \c
156.B m\c
157\&, any members you name in the
158\c
159.I files\c
160\& arguments are moved to the \c
161.I end\c
162\& of the archive;
163you can use the `\|\c
164.B a\c
165\|', `\|\c
166.B b\c
167\|', or `\|\c
168.B i\c
169\|' modifiers to move them to a
170specified place instead.
171
172.TP
173.B p
174\c
175.I Print\c
176\& the specified members of the archive, to the standard
177output file. If the `\|\c
178.B v\c
179\|' modifier is specified, show the member
180name before copying its contents to standard output.
181
182If you specify no \c
183.I files\c
184\&, all the files in the archive are printed.
185
186.TP
187.B q
188\c
189.I Quick append\c
190\&; add \c
191.I files\c
192\& to the end of \c
193.I archive\c
194\&,
195without checking for replacement.
196
197The modifiers `\|\c
198.B a\c
199\|', `\|\c
200.B b\c
201\|', and `\|\c
202.B i\c
203\|' do \c
204.I not\c
205\& affect this
206operation; new members are always placed at the end of the archive.
207
208The modifier `\|\c
209.B v\c
210\|' makes \c
211.B ar\c
212\& list each file as it is appended.
213
214Since the point of this operation is speed, the archive's symbol table
215index is not updated, even if it already existed; you can use `\|\c
216.B ar s\c
217\|' or
218\c
219.B ranlib\c
220\& explicitly to update the symbol table index.
221
222However, too many different systems assume quick append rebuilds the
223index, so GNU
224.B ar
225implements `\|\c
226.B q\c
227\|' as a synonym for `\|\c
228.B r\c
229\|'.
230
231.TP
232.B r
233Insert \c
234.I files\c
235\& into \c
236.I archive\c
237\& (with \c
238.I replacement\c
239\&). This
240operation differs from `\|\c
241.B q\c
242\|' in that any previously existing members
243are deleted if their names match those being added.
244
245If one of the files named in \c
246.I files\c
247\& doesn't exist, \c
248.B ar\c
249\&
250displays an error message, and leaves undisturbed any existing members
251of the archive matching that name.
252
253By default, new members are added at the end of the file; but you may
254use one of the modifiers `\|\c
255.B a\c
256\|', `\|\c
257.B b\c
258\|', or `\|\c
259.B i\c
260\|' to request
261placement relative to some existing member.
262
263The modifier `\|\c
264.B v\c
265\|' used with this operation elicits a line of
266output for each file inserted, along with one of the letters `\|\c
267.B a\c
268\|' or
269`\|\c
270.B r\c
271\|' to indicate whether the file was appended (no old member
272deleted) or replaced.
273
274.TP
275.B t
276Display a \c
277.I table\c
278\& listing the contents of \c
279.I archive\c
280\&, or those
281of the files listed in \c
282.I files\c
283\& that are present in the
284archive. Normally only the member name is shown; if you also want to
285see the modes (permissions), timestamp, owner, group, and size, you can
286request that by also specifying the `\|\c
287.B v\c
288\|' modifier.
289
290If you do not specify any \c
291.I files\c
292\&, all files in the archive
293are listed.
294
295If there is more than one file with the same name (say, `\|\c
296.B fie\c
297\|') in
298an archive (say `\|\c
299.B b.a\c
300\|'), `\|\c
301.B ar t b.a fie\c
302\|' will list only the
303first instance; to see them all, you must ask for a complete
304listing\(em\&in our example, `\|\c
305.B ar t b.a\c
306\|'.
307
308.TP
309.B x
310\c
311.I Extract\c
312\& members (named \c
313.I files\c
314\&) from the archive. You can
315use the `\|\c
316.B v\c
317\|' modifier with this operation, to request that
318\c
319.B ar\c
320\& list each name as it extracts it.
321
322If you do not specify any \c
323.I files\c
324\&, all files in the archive
325are extracted.
326
327.PP
328
329A number of modifiers (\c
330.I mod\c
331\&) may immediately follow the \c
332.I p\c
333\&
334keyletter, to specify variations on an operation's behavior:
335
336.TP
337.B a
338Add new files \c
339.I after\c
340\& an existing member of the
341archive. If you use the modifier \c
342.B a\c
343\&, the name of an existing archive
344member must be present as the \c
345.I membername\c
346\& argument, before the
347\c
348.I archive\c
349\& specification.
350
351.TP
352.B b
353Add new files \c
354.I before\c
355\& an existing member of the
356archive. If you use the modifier \c
357.B b\c
358\&, the name of an existing archive
359member must be present as the \c
360.I membername\c
361\& argument, before the
362\c
363.I archive\c
364\& specification. (same as `\|\c
365.B i\c
366\|').
367
368.TP
369.B c
370\c
371.I Create\c
372\& the archive. The specified \c
373.I archive\c
374\& is always
375created if it didn't exist, when you request an update. But a warning is
376issued unless you specify in advance that you expect to create it, by
377using this modifier.
378
379.TP
380.B f
381Truncate names in the archive.
382.B ar
383will normally permit file names of any length. This will cause it to
384create archives which are not compatible with the native
385.B ar
386program on some systems. If this is a concern, the
387.B f
388modifier may be used to truncate file names when putting them in the
389archive.
390
391.TP
392.B i
393Insert new files \c
394.I before\c
395\& an existing member of the
396archive. If you use the modifier \c
397.B i\c
398\&, the name of an existing archive
399member must be present as the \c
400.I membername\c
401\& argument, before the
402\c
403.I archive\c
404\& specification. (same as `\|\c
405.B b\c
406\|').
407
408.TP
409.B l
410This modifier is accepted but not used.
411
3de39064
ILT
412.TP
413.B N
414Uses the
415.I count
416parameter. This is used if there are multiple entries in the archive
417with the same name. Extract or delete instance
418.I count
419of the given name from the archive.
420
252b5132
RH
421.TP
422.B o
423Preserve the \c
424.I original\c
425\& dates of members when extracting them. If
426you do not specify this modifier, files extracted from the archive
427will be stamped with the time of extraction.
428
3de39064
ILT
429.TP
430.B P
431Use the full path name when matching names in the archive.
432.B ar
433can not create an archive with a full path name (such archives are not
434POSIX complaint), but other archive creators can. This option will
435cause
436.B ar
437to match file names using a complete path name, which can be
438convenient when extracting a single file from an archive created by
439another tool.
440
252b5132
RH
441.TP
442.B s
443Write an object-file index into the archive, or update an existing one,
444even if no other change is made to the archive. You may use this modifier
445flag either with any operation, or alone. Running `\|\c
446.B ar s\c
447\|' on an
448archive is equivalent to running `\|\c
449.B ranlib\c
450\|' on it.
451
452.TP
453.B S
454Do not generate an archive symbol table. This can speed up building a
455large library in several steps. The resulting archive can not be used
456with the linker. In order to build a symbol table, you must omit the
457`\|\c
458.B S\c
459\|' modifier on the last execution of `\|\c
460.B ar\c
461\|', or you must run `\|\c
462.B ranlib\c
463\|' on the archive.
464
465.TP
466.B u
467Normally, \c
468.B ar r\c
469\&.\|.\|. inserts all files
470listed into the archive. If you would like to insert \c
471.I only\c
472\& those
473of the files you list that are newer than existing members of the same
474names, use this modifier. The `\|\c
475.B u\c
476\|' modifier is allowed only for the
477operation `\|\c
478.B r\c
479\|' (replace). In particular, the combination `\|\c
480.B qu\c
481\|' is
482not allowed, since checking the timestamps would lose any speed
483advantage from the operation `\|\c
484.B q\c
485\|'.
486
487.TP
488.B v
489This modifier requests the \c
490.I verbose\c
491\& version of an operation. Many
492operations display additional information, such as filenames processed,
493when the modifier `\|\c
494.B v\c
495\|' is appended.
496
497.TP
498.B V
499This modifier shows the version number of

539\" The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other

542\" modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
543\" this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
544\" credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
545\" modifications made by others.
546\" .PP
547\" This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative

549\" complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
550\" license designed for free software.
551\" .PP
552\" We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free

561\" .PP
562\" This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
563\" notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
564\" under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
565\" such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
566\" addressed as "you".
567\" .PP
568\" A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
569\" Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
570\" modifications and/or translated into another language.
571\" .PP
572\" A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
573\" the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
574\" publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
575\" (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
576\" within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
577\" textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
578\" mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
579\" connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
580\" commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
581\" them.
582\" .PP
583\" The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
584\" are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
585\" that says that the Document is released under this License.
586\" .PP
587\" The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
588\" as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
589\" the Document is released under this License.
590\" .PP
591\" A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
592\" represented in a format whose specification is available to the
593\" general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
594\" straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
595\" pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
596\" drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
597\" for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
598\" to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
599\" format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
600\" subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
601\" not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
602\" .PP
603\" Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
604\" ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
605\" or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
606\" HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
607\" PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only

613\" The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
614\" plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material

633\" you may publicly display copies.
634\" .PP
635\" 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
636\" .PP
637\" If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
638\" and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
639\" the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
640\" Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
641\" the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
642\" you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
643\" the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
644\" visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
645\" Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
646\" the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
647\" as verbatim copying in other respects.
648\" .PP
649\" If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
650\" legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
651\" reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
652\" pages.
653\" .PP
654\" If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
655\" more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
656\" copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
657\" a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
658\" Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
659\" general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
660\" charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
661\" option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
662\" distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
663\" Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
664\" until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
665\" copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
666\" the public.
667\" .PP
668\" It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
669\" Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
670\" them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
671\" .PP
672\" 4. MODIFICATIONS
673\" .PP
674\" You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
675\" the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
676\" the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
677\" Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
678\" and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
679\" of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
680\" .PP
681\" A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
682\" from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
683\" (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
684\" of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
685\" if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
686\" .PP
687\" B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
688\" responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
689\" Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
690\" Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
691\" .PP
692\" C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
693\" Modified Version, as the publisher.
694\" .PP
695\" D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
696\" .PP
697\" E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
698\" adjacent to the other copyright notices.
699\" .PP
700\" F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
701\" giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
702\" terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
703\" Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
704\" and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
705\" .PP
706\" H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
707\" .PP
708\" I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
709\" it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
710\" publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
711\" there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
712\" stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
713\" given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
714\" Version as stated in the previous sentence.
715\" .PP
716\" J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
717\" public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
718\" the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
719\" it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
720\" You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
721\" least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
722\" publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
723\" .PP
724\" K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
725\" preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
726\" substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
727\" and/or dedications given therein.
728\" .PP
729\" L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
730\" unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
731\" or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
732\" .PP
733\" M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
734\" may not be included in the Modified Version.
735\" .PP
736\" N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements"
737\" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
738\" .PP
739\" If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
740\" appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
741\" copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
742\" of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
743\" list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
744\" These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
745\" .PP
746\" You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
747\" nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
748\" parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
749\" been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
750\" standard.
751\" .PP
752\" You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
753\" passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
754\" of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
755\" Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
756\" through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
757\" includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
758\" by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
759\" you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
760\" permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
761\" .PP
762\" The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
763\" give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
764\" imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
765\" .PP
766
767\" 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
768\" .PP
769\" You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
770\" License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
771\" versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
772\" Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
773\" list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
774\" license notice.
775\" .PP
776\" The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
777\" multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
778\" copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
779\" different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
780\" adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
781\" author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
782\" Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
783\" Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
784\" .PP
785\" In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
786\" in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
787\" "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
788\" and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
789\" entitled "Endorsements."
790\" .PP
791
792\" 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
793\" .PP
794\" You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
795\" released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
796\" License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
797\" the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
798\" verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
799\" .PP
800\" You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
801\" it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
802\" License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
803\" other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
804\" .PP
805
806\" 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
807\" .PP
808\" A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
809\" and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
810\" distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
811\" of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
812\" compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
813\" License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
814\" with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
815\" are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
816\" .PP
817\" If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
818\" copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
819\" of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
820\" covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
821\" Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
822\" .PP
823
824\" 8. TRANSLATION
825\" .PP
826\" Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
827\" distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
828\" Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
829\" permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
830\" translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
831\" original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
832\" translation of this License provided that you also include the
833\" original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
834\" between the translation and the original English version of this
835\" License, the original English version will prevail.
836\" .PP
837
838\" 9. TERMINATION
839\" .PP
840\" You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
841\" as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
842\" copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
843\" automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
844\" parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
845\" License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
846\" parties remain in full compliance.
847\" .PP
848
849\" 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
850\" .PP
851\" The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
852\" of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
853\" versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
854\" differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
855\" http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
856\" .PP
857\" Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
858\" If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
859\" License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
860\" following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
861\" of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
862\" Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
863\" number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
864\" as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
865\" .PP
866
867\" ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
868\" .PP
869\" To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
870\" the License in the document and put the following copyright and
871\" license notices just after the title page:
872\" .PP
873\" Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
874\" Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or
875\" modify this document under the terms of the GNU
876\" Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later
877\" version published by the Free Software Foundation;
878\" with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES,
879\" with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the
880\" Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A copy of the license
881\" is included in the section entitled "GNU Free
882\" Documentation License".
883\" .PP
884\" If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
885\" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no
886\" Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of
887\" "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.
888\" .PP
889\" If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
890\" recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
891\" free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
892\" to permit their use in free software.
