//! Creates an archive from one or more input files.
//!
//! To create a new archive, run:
//!
//! ```shell
//! cargo run --example create <path/to/output.a> <path/to/input1> <input2..>
//! ```
//!
//! Assuming the output file doesn't already exist, this is roughly equivalent
//! to running:
//!
//! ```shell
//! ar -cr <path/to/output.a> <path/to/input1> <input2..>
//! ```
