The index lists each symbol defined by a +member of an archive that is a relocatable object file. + +You may use `\|\c +.B nm \-s\c +\|' or `\|\c +.B nm +print-armap\c +\|' to list this index. + +An archive with such an index speeds up linking to the library, and +allows routines in the library to call each other without regard to +their placement in the archive. + +The GNU \c +.B ranlib\c +\& program is another form of GNU \c +.B ar\c +\&; running +\c +.B ranlib\c +\& is completely equivalent to executing `\|\c +.B ar \-s\c +\|'. + + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.RB "`\|" binutils "\|'" +entry in +.B +info\c +\&; +.I +The GNU Binary Utilities\c +\&, Roland H.
