 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ranlib - regenerate archive symbol table

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      ranlib archive ...

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      ranlib regenerates the symbol tables of the specified archives. It is
      equivalent to executing ar qs archive on each of the archives.  After
      using the z modifier of ar, the symbol table of an archive must be
      regenerated before it can be used.

 EXTERNAL INFLUENCES    [Toc]    [Back]
    Environment Variables
      The following internationalization variables affect the execution of
      ranlib:

      LANG Determines the locale category for native language, local customs
           and coded character set in the absence of LC_ALL and other LC_*
           environment variables.  If LANG is not specified or is set to the
           empty string, a default of C (see lang(5)) is used instead of
           LANG.

      LC_ALL    [Toc]    [Back]
           Determines the values for all locale categories and has
           precedence over LANG and other LC_* environment variables.

      LC_CTYPE    [Toc]    [Back]
           Determines the locale category for character handling functions.

      LC_MESSAGES    [Toc]    [Back]
           Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format
           and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

      LC_NUMERIC    [Toc]    [Back]
           Determines the locale category for numeric formatting.

      LC_TIME    [Toc]    [Back]
           Determines the format and contents of date and time formatting.

      NLSPATH    [Toc]    [Back]
           Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing
           of LC_MESSAGES.

      If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
      ranlib behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to C.
      See environ(5).
