ranlib(1)  —  RISC

Name

ranlib − convert archives to random libraries

Syntax

ranlib archive...

Description

The ranlib command converts each archive to a form which the loader can load more rapidly.  The ranlib command uses ar() to reconstruct the archive, so that sufficient temporary file space must be available to the file system which contains /tmp or TMPDIR (if that environment variable is exported). See the −l option to the ar command for more information.
