1.4       aaron      47: .Nm ranlib
1.1       deraadt    48: creates a table of external references for archive libraries,
                     49: normally used by the loader,
                     50: .Xr ld 1 .
1.6       aaron      51: This table is named
                     52: .Dq __.SYMDEF
                     53: and is prepended to the archive.
1.1       deraadt    54: Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are
                     55: uninteresting to the loader are ignored.

1.1       deraadt    59: .It Fl t
1.6       aaron      60: Set the modification time of the
                     61: .Pa __.SYMDEF
                     62: file.
1.1       deraadt    63: This time is compared by the loader with the modification time of the
                     64: archive to verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the
                     65: archive.
                     66: If the modification time has been changed without any change to the
                     67: archive (for example, by a
                     68: .Xr cp 1 ) ,
                     69: the
