ranlib [-vV] archive
ranlib 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.
You may use nm -s or nm -print-armap to list this index.
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.
The gnu ranlib program is another form of gnu ar; running ranlib is completely equivalent to
executing ar -s. Chapter 2 ar.
