                     46: .Nm Ranlib
                     47: creates a table of external references for archive libraries,
                     48: normally used by the loader,
                     49: .Xr ld 1 .
                     50: This table is is named ``__.SYMDEF'' and is prepended to the archive.
                     51: Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are
                     52: uninteresting to the loader are ignored.
                     53: .Pp
                     54: The options are as follows:
                     55: .Bl -tag -width indent
                     56: .It Fl t
                     57: Set the modification time of the __.SYMDEF file.
                     58: This time is compared by the loader with the modification time of the
                     59: archive to verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the
                     60: archive.
                     61: If the modification time has been changed without any change to the
                     62: archive (for example, by a
                     63: .Xr cp 1 ) ,
                     64: the
                     65: .Fl t
                     66: option can be used to ``touch'' the modification time so that it
                     67: appears that the table is up-to-date.
                     68: This is also useful after using the
                     69: .Fl t
