• List the contents of a library:

lib /LIST {{path\to\library.lib}}

• Add an object file to an existing library:

lib {{path\to\library.lib}} {{path\to\file.obj}}

• Remove an object file from a library:

lib /REMOVE :{{path\to\file.obj}} {{path\to\library.lib}}

• Extract an object file from a library:

lib /EXTRACT :{{path\to\file.obj}} {{path\to\library.lib}}

• Create an import library from a DLL:
