1.1 deraadt 42: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.4 aaron 43: .Nm ranlib
1.1 deraadt 44: creates a table of external references for archive libraries,
45: normally used by the loader,
46: .Xr ld 1 .
1.6 aaron 47: This table is named
48: .Dq __.SYMDEF
49: and is prepended to the archive.
1.1 deraadt 50: Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are
51: uninteresting to the loader are ignored.
52: .Pp
53: The options are as follows:
1.7 aaron 54: .Bl -tag -width Ds
1.1 deraadt 55: .It Fl t
1.6 aaron 56: Set the modification time of the
57: .Pa __.SYMDEF
58: file.
1.1 deraadt 59: This time is compared by the loader with the modification time of the
60: archive to verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the
61: archive.
62: If the modification time has been changed without any change to the
63: archive (for example, by a
64: .Xr cp 1 ) ,
65: the
66: .Fl t
1.6 aaron 67: option can be used to
68: .Dq touch
69: the modification time so that it
1.1 deraadt 70: appears that the table is up-to-date.
71: This is also useful after using the
72: .Fl t
73: option of
74: .Xr make 1 .
