@cindex thin archives
@sc{gnu} @command{ar} can optionally create a @emph{thin} archive,
which contains a symbol index and references to the original copies
-of the member files of the archives. Such an archive is useful
-for building libraries for use within a local build, where the
-relocatable objects are expected to remain available, and copying the
-contents of each object would only waste time and space. Thin archives
-are also @emph{flattened}, so that adding one or more archives to a
-thin archive will add the elements of the nested archive individually.
+of the member files of the archive. This is useful for building
+libraries for use within a local build tree, where the relocatable
+objects are expected to remain available, and copying the contents of
+each object would only waste time and space.
+
+An archive can either be @emph{thin} or it can be normal. It cannot
+be both at the same time. Once an archive is created its format
+cannot be changed without first deleting it and then creating a new
+archive in its place.
+
+Thin archives are also @emph{flattened}, so that adding one thin
+archive to another thin archive does not nest it, as would happen with
+a normal archive. Instead the elements of the first archive are added
+individually to the second archive.
+
The paths to the elements of the archive are stored relative to the
archive itself.
@item D
@cindex deterministic archives
+@kindex --enable-deterministic-archives
Operate in @emph{deterministic} mode. When adding files and the archive
index use zero for UIDs, GIDs, timestamps, and use consistent file modes
for all files. When this option is used, if @command{ar} is used with
identical output files regardless of the input files' owners, groups,
file modes, or modification times.
+If @file{binutils} was configured with
+@option{--enable-deterministic-archives}, then this mode is on by default.
+It can be disabled with the @samp{U} modifier, below.
+
@item f
Truncate names in the archive. @sc{gnu} @command{ar} will normally permit file
names of any length. This will cause it to create archives which are
not allowed, since checking the timestamps would lose any speed
advantage from the operation @samp{q}.
+@item U
+@cindex deterministic archives
+@kindex --enable-deterministic-archives
+Do @emph{not} operate in @emph{deterministic} mode. This is the inverse
+of the @samp{D} modifier, above: added files and the archive index will
+get their actual UID, GID, timestamp, and file mode values.
+
+This is the default unless @file{binutils} was configured with
+@option{--enable-deterministic-archives}.
+
@item v
This modifier requests the @emph{verbose} version of an operation. Many
operations display additional information, such as filenames processed,

+Do @emph{not} operate in @emph{deterministic} mode. This is the
+inverse of the @option{-D} option, above: when copying archive members
+and writing the archive index, use their actual UID, GID, timestamp,

+This is the default unless @file{binutils} was configured with

-@itemx --strip-underscores
+@itemx --strip-underscore
On some systems, both the C and C++ compilers put an underscore in front
of every name. For example, the C name @code{foo} gets the low-level
name @code{_foo}. This option removes the initial underscore. Whether
@command{c++filt} removes the underscore by default is target dependent.
@item -n
-@itemx --no-strip-underscores
+@itemx --no-strip-underscore
Do not remove the initial underscore.
