The Microsoft Library Manager (LIB.exe) creates and manages a library of Common Object File Format (COFF) object files. LIB can also be used to create export files and import libraries to reference exported definitions.

Note:
You can start this tool only from the Visual Studio command prompt. You cannot start it from a system command prompt or from Windows Explorer.
