Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Using a LIB Response File

To provide input to LIB with a response file, type:
LIB @responsefile
A response file is a text file containing some or all of the input
expected by LIB. Specify the response-file name anywhere on the
command line or at any prompt, preceded by an at sign (@). You can
specify a full pathname with the filename. A response file lets
you run the session without typing input.
When you run LIB with a response file, LIB displays prompts
followed by the input from the response file. If the response file
does not contain all the expected input and does not end with a
semicolon (;), LIB prompts for the remaining responses.
Each input field in the response file must appear on a separate
line or be separated from other fields on the same line by a
comma. In a response file, a newline is equivalent to pressing
ENTER in response to a prompt or a comma in a command line. Input
must appear in the same order as the command-line fields or the
LIB prompts. You can extend operations to another line using an
ampersand (&) after a module name or filename.
