llvm-ranlib - Generate index for LLVM archive — LLVM 3.3 documentation

# llvm-ranlib - Generate index for LLVM archive

## SYNOPSIS

llvm-ranlib [–version] [-help] <archive-file>

## DESCRIPTION

The llvm-ranlib command is similar to the common Unix utility, `ranlib`. It adds or updates the symbol table in an LLVM archive file. Note that using the llvm-ar modifier s is usually more efficient than running llvm-ranlib which is only provided only for completness and compatibility. Unlike other implementations of `ranlib`, llvm-ranlib indexes LLVM bitcode files, not native object modules. You can list the contents of the symbol table with the `llvm-nm -s` command.

## OPTIONS

archive-file

> Specifies the archive-file to which the symbol table is added or updated.

–version

> Print the version of llvm-ranlib and exit without building a symbol table.

-help

> Print usage help for llvm-ranlib and exit without building a symbol table.

## EXIT STATUS

If llvm-ranlib succeeds, it will exit with 0. If an error occurs, a non-zero exit code will be returned.
