RANLIB(1) General Commands Manual RANLIB(1)
NAME
ranlib - table-of-contents for archive libraries
SYNOPSIS
ranlib [-t] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Ranlib creates a table of external references for archive libraries, normally used by the loader, ld(1). This table is is named
``__.SYMDEF'' and is prepended to the archive. Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are uninteresting to the
loader are ignored.
The options are as follows:
-t Set the modification time of the __.SYMDEF file. This time is compared by the loader with the modification time of the archive to
verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the archive. If the modification time has been changed without any change to
the archive (for example, by a cp(1)), the -t option can be used to ``touch'' the modification time so that it appears that the ta-
ble is up-to-date.
FILES
/tmp default temporary file directory
ranlib.XXXXXX temporary file names
SEE ALSO
ar(1), ld(1), lorder(1), nm(1), ranlib(5)
HISTORY
A ranlib command appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
