.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You may use
|
|
.RB ` "nm \-s" '
|
|
or
|
|
.RB ` "nm \-\-print-armap" '
|
|
to list this index.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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.
|
|
