llvm-ranlib: Generate index for LLVM archive

Command to display llvm-ranlib manual in Linux: $ man 1 llvm-ranlib

NAME

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.
