Name
       ranlib - convert archives to random libraries

Syntax
       ranlib archive...

Description
       The  command  converts each archive to a form which the loader can load
       more rapidly.  The command does this by	adding	a  table  of  contents
       called  _.SYMDEF	 to the beginning of the archive.  the command uses to
       reconstruct the archive, so that sufficient temporary file  space  must
       be available in the file system which contains the current directory.

Restrictions
       Because	generation of a library by and randomization of the library by
       are separate processes, phase errors are possible.  The	loader,	 warns
       when  the  modification	date of a library is more recent than the cre‐
       ation date of its dictionary;  but this means that you get the  warning
       even if you only copy the library.
