| 
								 | 
							
								<p><span class="command">ranlib</span> 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.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>You may use <span class="samp">nm -s</span> or <span class="samp">nm --print-armap</span> to list this index.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>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.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>The <span class="sc">gnu</span> <span class="command">ranlib</span> program is another form of <span class="sc">gnu</span> <span class="command">ar</span>; running
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<span class="command">ranlib</span> is completely equivalent to executing <span class="samp">ar -s</span>.
