    RANLIB(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		RANLIB(1)

    NAME
         ranlib - table-of-contents for archive libraries

    SYNOPSIS
         ranlib [-t] file ...

    DESCRIPTION
         Ranlib creates a table of external references for archive
         libraries, normally used by the loader, ld(1).  This table
         is 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.

         The options are as follows:

         -t   Set the modification time of the __.SYMDEF file.  This
    	  time is compared by the loader 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 cp(1)), the -t option can be used to
    	  ``touch'' the modification time so that it appears that
    	  the table is up-to-date.

    FILES
         /tmp	   default temporary file directory

         ranlib.XXXXXX temporary file names
