-
- Normally, **llvm-ar** stores the full path name to a file as presented to it on
- the command line. With this option, truncated (15 characters max) names are
- used. This ensures name compatibility with older versions of ``ar`` but may also
- thwart correct extraction of the files (duplicates may overwrite). If used with
- the *R* option, the directory recursion will be performed but the file names
- will all be flattened to simple file names.

A synonym for the *b* option.

- This modifier instructions the *r* option to recursively process directories.
- Without *R*, directories are ignored and only those *files* that refer to
- files will be added to the archive. When *R* is used, any directories specified
- with *files* will be scanned (recursively) to find files to be added to the
- archive. Any file whose name begins with a dot will not be added.
