The MAKLIB utility is used on TOPS-10 systems to organize and manipulate files of relocatable object (REL) modules. This guide details how to:
- Obtain Information: List module names, entry points, edit history, and loading instructions.
- Manipulate Libraries: Combine, add, delete, extract, and replace modules within library files.
- Modify Libraries: Optimize libraries by inserting index blocks or removing local symbols to improve linking efficiency.
- Edit Libraries: Perform binary patching on modules using a .FIX file containing specific control pseudo-ops to apply code changes directly to the library.
