The clarch utility is used to archive a specific class in an ABI-style package in order to convert it to class archive format. The clarch command calls a custom archive script (archive-script) which is responsible for the creation of the custom archive in the archive directory of the package.
The format for the clarch command is:
clarch [-tuaq] [-d basedir] package archive-script class |
Each option is described in the following table:
