- Sometimes you can't free up enough space on "/" to build an archive. The
- easy way to solve this problem is to set the environment variable TMPDIR
- to a directory that has a bunch of space (I use /usr/tmp on my system).
- This way, ar(1) puts the temporary files in TMPDIR instead of /usr/tmp.

- For more info, see the description of the "l" option in the ar(1) man page.
