.TH RANLIB 1
.SH NAME
ranlib \- convert archives to libraries (nranlib for cross-support)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ranlib
.I archive ...
.sp
.B nranlib
.I archive ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Ranlib
converts each
.I archive
to a form which can be loaded
more rapidly by the loader,
by adding a table of contents named
.B _\^\*U.SYMDEF
to the beginning of the archive.
It uses
.IR ar (1)
to reconstruct the archive,
so sufficient temporary file space must
be available in the file system containing the
current archive.
.SH SEE ALSO
ld(1), ar(1)
.SH CROSS-SUPPORT
In a cross-support environment,
.I ranlib
is called
.IR nranlib .
.SH BUGS
Because generation of a library by
.I ar
and randomization by
.I ranlib
are separate,
phase errors are possible.
For example, an object file that has been through
.IR strip (1)
and
.IR ar (1)
will generate this message when it is processed by 
.IR ranlib (1):
.sp
.RS 10
.B warning:
.IB name (
.IB object ):
.B no symbol table
