ranlib — Convert Archives to Random Libraries
Synopsis
/usr/ccs/bin/ranlib archive
Description
Note
The ranlib command was used in SunOS 4.x to add a table of contents to archive libraries. It converted each archive to a form that could be linked more rapidly. This command is no longer needed because the ar(1) command automatically provides all the functionality of ranlib.
This command is provided as a convenience for software developers who need to maintain makefiles that are portable across a variety of operating systems.
Exit Status
ranlib has exit status 0.
