ranlib(1) User Commands ranlib(1)NAMEranlib - convert archives to random libraries
SYNOPSISranlib archive
DESCRIPTION
The ranlib utility was used in SunOS 4.x to add a table of contents to
archive libraries, which converted each archive to a form that could be
linked more rapidly. This is no longer needed, as the ar(1) command
automatically provides all the functionality ranlib used to provide.
This script is provided as a convenience for software developers who
need to maintain Makefiles that are portable across a variety of oper‐
ating systems.
EXIT STATUSranlib has exit status 0.
