# mergelib(1)

merge one library into another

## NAME

mergelib - merge one library into another

## SYNOPSIS

**mergelib** *to-library* *from-library* \[*object-filename-prefix*\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **mergelib** program merges objects from one library into another. The names of object files in *from-library* will be prefixed by *object-filename-prefix* ("\_" by default) to avoid name clashes. The merged library will be left in *to-library*.
