NAME

ranlib — regenerate archive symbol table

SYNOPSIS

ranlib archive ...

DESCRIPTION

ranlib regenerates the symbol tables of the specified archives. It is equivalent to executing ar qs archive on each of the archives. After using the z modifier of ar, the symbol table of an archive must be regenerated before it can be used.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

The following internationalization variables affect the execution of ranlib:

LANG

Determines the locale category for native language, local customs and coded character set in the absence of LC_ALL and other LC_* environment variables. If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of C (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG.

LC_ALL

Determines the values for all locale categories and has precedence over LANG and other LC_* environment variables.

LC_CTYPE

Determines the locale category for character handling functions.

LC_MESSAGES

Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

LC_NUMERIC

Determines the locale category for numeric formatting.

LC_TIME

Determines the format and contents of date and time formatting.

NLSPATH

Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, ranlib behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to C. See environ(5).

In addition, the following environment variable affects ranlib:

TMPDIR

Specifies a directory for temporary files (see tmpnam(3S)).
