ranlib Command
  
  
  Purpose
  
  Converts archive libraries to random libraries.
  
   Syntax
  
  ranlib [ -t ] Archive ... 
  
  
  Description
  
  The ranlib command converts each Archive library to a random li-
  brary.  A random library is an archive library  that  contains  a
  symbol table.
  
  If given the -t option, the ranlib command only touches the ar-
  chives and does not modify them.  This is useful after copying an
  archive or using the -t option of the make command in order to
  avoid having the ld command display an error message about an
  out-of-date symbol table.
  
  Flags
  
  -t	Touches the named archives without modifying them.
  
  Examples
  
  To randomize the archive file genlib.a, enter:
  
  ranlib genlib.a
