+.sh NAME
+
+ar8k - archive and library maintainer
+
+.sh SYNOPSIS
+
+ar8k key afile [name ...]
+
+.sh DESCRIPTION
+
+The primary purpose of ar8k is to prepare and maintain files for
+the linker, ld8k.  However, it may be used to prepare and maintain
+collections of files for any other purpose.
+
+The format of the files is the same as that used by UNIX 7th Edition.
+
+Key is one character from the set d-r-q-t-x, plus optionally v.
+
+Afile is the archive file.
+
+The [names ...] are files in the archive file, or files to be included in
+the archive file.
+
+Meaning of the key letters is as follows:
+
+.in+3
+.ti-3
+d\ \ Delete the named files from the archive file
+
+.ti-3
+r\ \ Replace the named files in the archive file.  If the named files
+are not currently in the archive file, they are placed at the end.
+
+.ti-3
+q\ \ Quickly append the named files to the end of the archive file.
+No checking is done to see whether the files are already in the archive.
+
+.ti-3
+t\ \ Print a table of contents.  If no names are given, the entire archive
+is listed, otherwise only the indicated files are listed.
+
+.ti-3
+x\ \ Extract the named files.  If there is no name list, the entire
+archive is extracted.  The archive file is not modified.
+
+.ti-3
+v\ \ Verbose.  With t, a long listing about each component is produced.

+produced.
