|
|

|
|
.Nd archive (library) table-of-contents format
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <ranlib.h>
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The archive table-of-contents command
|
|
.Nm
|
|
creates a table of contents for archives, containing object files, to
|
|
be used by the link-editor
|
|
.Xr ld 1 .
|
|
It operates on archives created with the utility
|
|
.Xr ar 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function
|
|
prepends a new file to the archive which has three separate parts.
|
|
The first part is a standard archive header, which has a special name
|
|
field, "__.SYMDEF".
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The second part is a ``long'' followed by a list of ranlib structures.
|
|
The long is the size, in bytes, of the list of ranlib structures.
|
|
Each of the ranlib structures consists of a zero based offset into the
|
|
next section (a string table of symbols) and an offset from the beginning
|
|
of the archive to the start of the archive file which defines the symbol.
|
|
The actual number of ranlib structures is this number divided by the size
|
|
of an individual ranlib structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The third part is a ``long'' followed by a string table.
|
|
The long is the size, in bytes of the string table.
