To: Debian bugs submission address <debian-bugs@pixar.com>

Package: binutils
Version: 2.5.2-3

There does not appear to be any documentation about the format of
archive files.  I looked for a manpage ar(5), as well as browsing
relevant bits of the binutils info file.

Also, Bug#1303 (isn't there a way to specify two bugs to be acted on
in the bug system?  I couldn't find any mention on the WWW site?

Both of these seem to be regarding the lack of specifiation of archive
and object file formats.  I believe all of this information can be
found in the info system under BFD.  Could you check and see if this
information does meet your expectations and maybe close one or both of
these bugs?

Mike.

I can't find any information in the BFD info files about object file
formats.  I believe I looked when I submitted the report, in fact ...

If you can find some please let me know where it is; i'd contend
that it needs to be indexed a little better :-).

Subject: No manpage ar(5)

Package: binutils

There does not appear to be any documentation about the format of
archive files.  I looked for a manpage ar(5), as well as browsing
relevant bits of the binutils info file.

Ian.
