# llvm-ranlib-3.0(1)

Generate index for LLVM archive

## NAME

llvm-ranlib - Generate index for LLVM archive

## SYNOPSIS

**llvm-ranlib** \[--version\] \[-help\] \<archive-file\>

## DESCRIPTION

The **llvm-ranlib** command is similar to the common Unix utility, `"ranlib"`. It adds or updates the symbol table in an LLVM archive file. Note that using the **llvm-ar** modifier *s* is usually more efficient than running **llvm-ranlib** which is only provided only for completness and compatibility. Unlike other  implementations of `"ranlib"`, **llvm-ranlib** indexes LLVM bitcode files, not native object modules. You can list the contents of the symbol table with the `"llvm-nm -s"` command.

## OPTIONS

- *archive-file*

  Specifies the archive-file to which the symbol table is added or updated.

- *--version*

  Print the version of **llvm-ranlib** and exit without building a symbol table.

- *-help*

  Print usage help for **llvm-ranlib** and exit without building a symbol table.

## EXIT STATUS

If **llvm-ranlib** succeeds, it will exit with 0.  If an error occurs, a non-zero exit code will be returned.

## SEE ALSO

llvm-ar, [*ranlib*(1)](/ranlib/1.md)
