NAME
ranlib - convert archives to random libraries
SYNOPSIS
ranlib
archive ...
DESCRIPTION
Ranlib
converts each
archive
to a form which can be loaded
more rapidly by the loader,
by adding a table of contents named
__.SYMDEF
to the beginning of the archive.
It uses
ar(1)
to reconstruct the archive,
so that sufficient temporary file space must
be available in the file system containing the
current directory.
SEE ALSO
ld(1), ar(1)
BUGS
Because generation of a library by
ar
and randomization by
ranlib
are separate,
phase errors are possible.
The loader
ld
warns when the modification date of
a library is more recent than
the creation of its dictionary;
but this means you get the warning even if you
only copy the library.
