Adding files to a standard library

To add files to a standard library, enter the following command:

Operating system	Syntax
UNIX Windows	prolib library-name -add file-name [ file-name ] ...

library-name

Specifies the name of the library where you want to add the file.

file-name

Specifies the pathname of the file. You can add a file to a library by specifying the file’s absolute or relative pathname.

When you add a file to a library, the library entry for that file retains the entire pathname. For example, enter a file into a library called newlib.pl using the following command:

prolib newlib.pl -add /usr/apps/proc1.r

The pathname /usr/apps/proc1.r appears in the library’s table of contents. You can display the library’s table of contents with the -list parameter.

When you extract a file from a library, PROLIB copies the file into the directory specified by the pathname (in this example, /usr/apps). See the "Extracting files from a standard library" section for more information.

If you try to add a file that already exists, PROLIB displays an error message. However, if you specify the -nowarn parameter, PROLIB replaces the existing file. See the "Replacing files in a standard library" section for more information.
