NAME
       ranlib - generate index to archive.

SYNOPSIS
       ranlib [-v|-V] 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.

       An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the li-
       brary,  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     Print the version number of ranlib and exit.
