 OPERATIONS:
-  d[NsS]       - delete file(s) from the archive
-  m[abiSs]     - move file(s) in the archive
-  p[kN]        - print file(s) found in the archive
-  q[ufsS]      - quick append file(s) to the archive
-  r[abfiuRsS]  - replace or insert file(s) into the archive
-  t            - display contents of archive
-  x[No]        - extract file(s) from the archive
-
-MODIFIERS (operation specific):
-  [a] - put file(s) after [relpos]
-  [b] - put file(s) before [relpos] (same as [i])
+  d - delete [files] from the archive
+  m - move [files] in the archive
+  p - print [files] found in the archive
+  q - quick append [files] to the archive
+  r - replace or insert [files] into the archive
+  s - act as ranlib

+  [a] - put [files] after [relpos]
+  [b] - put [files] before [relpos] (same as [i])
+  [c] - do not warn if archive had to be created
   [D] - use zero for timestamps and uids/gids (default)
-  [i] - put file(s) before [relpos] (same as [b])
+  [i] - put [files] before [relpos] (same as [b])
+  [l] - ignored for compatibility
   [o] - preserve original dates
   [s] - create an archive index (cf. ranlib)
   [S] - do not build a symbol table
