.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\c
|
||
|
|
.B ranlib\c
|
||
|
|
\& 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may use `\|\c
|
||
|
|
.B nm \-s\c
|
||
|
|
\|' or `\|\c
|
||
|
|
.B nm +print-armap\c
|
||
|
|
\|' to list this index.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
