When extracting a file with the -yank parameter, PROLIB discards everything but the filename from the file's pathname. For example, if you added a file using the pathname /usr/apps/proc1.r, PROLIB discards /usr/apps from the pathname and places proc1.r in your current working directory.

This is the syntax for the PROLIB command to extract files from a library using the -yank parameter:

Operating system Syntax
UNIX Windows 
prolib library-name 
  -yank file-name [file-name]...
library-name

Specifies the name of the library with the file you want to extract.

file-name

Specifies the name of the file. You can specify more than one file at a time.
