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 sys‐
       tem 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 mod‐
       ification  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.
