ranlib - convert archives to random libraries

archive
SUNWbtool
ranlib was used in SunOS 4.x to
add a table of contents to archive libraries, which converted each archive
to a form that could be linked more rapidly. This is no longer needed as
the ar(1)
command automatically provides all the functionality ranlib used
to provide.
This script is provided as a convenience for software developers
who need to maintain Makefiles that are portable across a variety of operating
systems.
ranlib has exit status 0.
