# 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.

# SEE ALSO

llvm-ar, `ranlib(1)`
