<p><code>ranlib</code> generates an index to the contents of an archive and
|
|
stores it in the archive. The index lists each symbol defined by a
|
|
member of an archive that is a relocatable object file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may use ‘<samp>nm -s</samp>’ or ‘<samp>nm --print-armap</samp>’ to list this index.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the library and
|
|
allows routines in the library to call each other without regard to
|
|
their placement in the archive.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The <small>GNU</small> <code>ranlib</code> program is another form of <small>GNU</small> <code>ar</code>; running
|
|
<code>ranlib</code> is completely equivalent to executing ‘<samp>ar -s</samp>’.
|
|
See <a href="ar.html#ar">ar</a>.

|
<p>Operate in <em>deterministic</em> mode. The symbol map archive member’s
|
|
header will show zero for the UID, GID, and timestamp. When this
|
|
option is used, multiple runs will produce identical output files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If <samp>binutils</samp> was configured with
|
|
<samp>--enable-deterministic-archives</samp>, then this mode is on by
|
|
default. It can be disabled with the ‘<samp>-U</samp>’ option, described
|
|
below.

<p>Do <em>not</em> operate in <em>deterministic</em> mode. This is the
|
|
inverse of the ‘<samp>-D</samp>’ option, above: the archive index will get
|
|
actual UID, GID, timestamp, and file mode values.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If <samp>binutils</samp> was configured <em>without</em>
|
|
<samp>--enable-deterministic-archives</samp>, then this mode is on by
|
|
default.
