+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\c
+.B ranlib\c
+\& 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.  
+
+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
+\|'.
