     RANLIB(C)		      XENIX System V		     RANLIB(C)

	  ranlib - Converts archives to random libraries.

     Syntax
	  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(C) to reconstruct the archive, so sufficient temporary
	  file space must be available in the file system containing
	  the current directory.

     See Also
	  ld(CP), ar(C), copy(C), settime(ADM)

     Notes
	  Failure to process a library with ranlib, or failure to
	  reprocess a library with ranlib, will cause ld to fail.
	  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.
