| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" |
| \&\fBranlib\fR generates an index to the contents of an archive and |
| stores it in the archive. The index lists each symbol defined by a |
| member of an archive that is a relocatable object file. |
| .PP |
| You may use \fBnm \-s\fR or \fBnm \-\-print\-armap\fR to list this index. |
| .PP |
| 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. |
| .PP |
| The \s-1GNU \s0\fBranlib\fR program is another form of \s-1GNU \s0\fBar\fR; running |
| \&\fBranlib\fR is completely equivalent to executing \fBar \-s\fR. |

| .PD |
| Show the version number of \fBranlib\fR. |
| .IP "\fB\-D\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-D" |
| Operate in \fIdeterministic\fR mode. The symbol map archive member's |
| header will show zero for the \s-1UID, GID,\s0 and timestamp. When this |
| option is used, multiple runs will produce identical output files. |
| .Sp |
| If \fIbinutils\fR was configured with |
| \&\fB\-\-enable\-deterministic\-archives\fR, then this mode is on by |
| default. It can be disabled with the \fB\-U\fR option, described |
| below. |
| .IP "\fB\-t\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-t" |
| Update the timestamp of the symbol map of an archive. |
| .IP "\fB\-U\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-U" |
| Do \fInot\fR operate in \fIdeterministic\fR mode. This is the |
| inverse of the \fB\-D\fR option, above: the archive index will get |
| actual \s-1UID, GID,\s0 timestamp, and file mode values. |
| .Sp |
| If \fIbinutils\fR was configured \fIwithout\fR |
| \&\fB\-\-enable\-deterministic\-archives\fR, then this mode is on by |
| default. |
| .IP "\fB@\fR\fIfile\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "@file" |
| Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR. The options read are |
| inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option. If \fIfile\fR |
| does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated |
| literally, and not removed. |
| .Sp |
| Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace |
| character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire |
| option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a |
| backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included |
| with a backslash. The \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional |
| @\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively. |
