LIB Input Files
The input files expected by LIB depend on the mode in which it is being used, as shown in the following table.
| Mode | Input |
|---|---|
| Default (building or modifying a library) | COFF object (.obj) files, COFF libraries (.lib), 32-bit Object Model Format (OMF) object (.obj) files |
| Extracting a member with /EXTRACT | COFF library (.lib) |
| Building an export file and import library with /DEF | Module-definition (.def) file, COFF object (.obj) files, COFF libraries (.lib), 32-bit OMF object (.obj) files |
Note
OMF libraries created by the 16-bit version of LIB cannot be used as input to the 32-bit version of LIB.
