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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The <oldlibrary> field specifies the name of an existing library
     or a library to be created. If you omit the filename extension,
     LIB assumes an extension of .LIB. You can specify a full pathname
     with the filename.
 
     The path and filename cannot contain a dash character (-). LIB
     interprets a dash as the delete operator.
 
     If the file does not exist, LIB displays the following prompt:
 
          Library file does not exist. Create?
 
     Press Y to create the library file or N to end the LIB session. If
     <oldlibrary> is immediately followed by commands, a comma, or a
     semicolon, LIB suppresses the message and assumes Y.
 
     If <oldlibrary> is immediately followed by a semicolon (;), LIB
     performs only a consistency check on the specified library. A
     consistency check tells you whether all the modules in the library
     are in usable form. LIB displays a message only if it finds an
     invalid object module.
