.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The archive table-of-contents command
|
|
.I ranlib
|
|
creates a table of contents for archives, containing object files, to
|
|
be used by the link-editor
|
|
.IR ld (1) .
|
|
It operates on archives created with the utility
|
|
.IR ar (1) .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I Ranlib
|
|
function
|
|
prepends a new file to the archive which has two separate parts.
|
|
The first part is a standard archive header, which has a special name
|
|
field, "__.SYMDEF".
|
|
.PP
|
|
The second part is a list of ranlib structures of variable size.
|
|
Each of the ranlib structures consists of a sequence of records, terminated
|
|
by 1, 2, 3 or 4 zero bytes (to align to word boundary).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Every record consists of a byte with name length, a word specifying an offset
|
|
from the beginning of the archive to the start of the archive file which defines the symbol,
|
|
and a symbol name of given length.
