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. RANLIB(1)

NAME
ranlib - generate index to archive. SYNOPSIS
ranlib [-vV] 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. SEE ALSO
