 148 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
 149 \&\f(CW\*(C`ranlib\*(C'\fR generates an index to the contents of an archive and
 150 stores it in the archive.  The index lists each symbol defined by a
 151 member of an archive that is a relocatable object file.
 152 .PP
 153 You may use \fBnm \-s\fR or \fBnm \-\-print-armap\fR to list this index.
 154 .PP
 155 An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the library and
 156 allows routines in the library to call each other without regard to
 157 their placement in the archive.
 158 .PP
 159 The \s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ranlib\*(C'\fR program is another form of \s-1GNU\s0 \f(CW\*(C`ar\*(C'\fR; running
 160 \&\f(CW\*(C`ranlib\*(C'\fR is completely equivalent to executing \fBar \-s\fR.
