                     12: ranlib creates an index for a library created by the archiver ar.
                     13: This greatly  increases the  speed with  which the linker  ld can
                     14: search a library, and so link your program.
                     15: 
                     16: ranlib inserts at the beginning  of the library a sorted index of
                     17: all  global symbols  defined in  object  modules in  the library,
                     18: together with  the offset of  the module in the  library.  If the
                     19: index already exists, ranlib updates it.

                     30: 
                     31: ranlib issues  appropriate messages for I/O  errors or bad format
                     32: files.  It  does not  rewrite a  library until the  last possible
                     33: moment, so  the library  is usually  unchanged in case  of error.
                     34: ranlib processes each  library independently.  The exit status is
                     35: the number of libraries in which errors were encountered.
