Overview
There are at least 5 different variants of the ar file format since it has never been formally standardized: AIX(big), AIX(small), Coherent, BSD and GNU
References
- Wikipedia page for the ar archiver
- IBM AIX documentation on scribd here (page 386+; someone might find a better accessible version)
- Also from IBM is this description (and this for the "small" variant)
- The Microsoft PE/COFF documentation also has a section on .lib files which use the same format
