.Nm ranlib

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Ranlib
|
|
creates a table of external references for archive libraries,
|
|
normally used by the loader,
|
|
.Xr ld 1 .
|
|
This table is named ``__.SYMDEF'' and is prepended to the archive.
|
|
Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are
|
|
uninteresting to the loader are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Set the modification time of the __.SYMDEF file.
|
|
Some loaders (but not the FreeBSD one)
|
|
compared this time with the modification time of the
|
|
archive to verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the
|
|
archive.
|
|
If the modification time has been changed without any change to the
|
|
archive (for example, by a
|
|
.Xr cp 1 ) ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option can be used to ``touch'' the modification time so that it
|
|
appears that the table is up-to-date.
|
|
This is also useful after using the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option of
|
|
.Xr make 1 .
