Use the -r option to replace existing files
in the library. If the library does not exist, a new library file
is created and a diagnostic message is written to standard error.
You can use this option in conjunction with other compatible command-line
options.
-q is an alias for -r.
If no files are specified and the library exists, the results are undefined. Files that replace existing files do not change the order of the library.
If the -u option is used, then only those
files with modification dates later than the library files are replaced.
If the -a, -b, or -i option
is used, then pos_name-a)
or before (-b or -i) pos_name
