An option consists of an option specifier, which is either a dash ( - ) or a forward slash ( / ), followed by the name of the option. Option names cannot be abbreviated. Some options take an argument, specified after a colon (:). No spaces or tabs are allowed within an option specification. Use one or more spaces or tabs to separate option specifications on the command line.
Option names and their keyword or filename arguments are not case sensitive, but identifiers used as arguments are case sensitive. LIB processes options in the order specified on the command line and in command files. If an option is repeated with different arguments, the last one to be processed takes precedence.
The following LIB options apply to all modes of LIB:
Specifies the architecture of the library.
Suppresses display of the LIB copyright message and version number and prevents echoing of command files.
Displays details about the progress of the session. The information is sent to standard output and can be redirected to a file.
Other options apply only to specific modes of LIB. These options are discussed in the sections describing each mode.
