RANLIB(1) GNU Development Tools RANLIB(1)
NAME
ranlib - generate index to archive.
SYNOPSIS
ranlib [-vVt] archive
DESCRIPTION
ranlib generates an index to the contents of an archive and stores it in the archive. The index lists each symbol defined by a member of
an archive that is a relocatable object file.
You may use nm -s or nm --print-armap to list this index.
An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the library and allows routines in the library to call each other without regard to
their placement in the archive.
The GNU ranlib program is another form of GNU ar; running ranlib is completely equivalent to executing ar -s.
OPTIONS
-v
-V
--version
Show the version number of ranlib.
-t Update the timestamp of the symbol map of an archive.
@file
Read command-line options from file. The options read are inserted in place of the original @file option. If file does not exist, or
cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not removed.
Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in
either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a
backslash. The file may itself contain additional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.
