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:

1.1       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
