The member table member has a zero-length name. The array of offsets into the archive file. The length is 20 times the number of members. The name string table. The string table contains the same number of strings as offsets.
All strings are null-terminated.
Each offset from the array corresponds sequentially to a name in the string table. Immediately following the member table, the archive file contains two global symbol tables. The strip command can be used to delete one or both global symbol tables from the archive. The global symbol table members have zero-length names. The ar command automatically creates and updates, but does not list the global symbol tables.
