💖 EMRANLIB 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is short and sweet and you're gonna get it immediately. it's emranlib, manual section 1, and yes she's an emscripten wrapper around llvm-ranlib. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

emranlib — an emscripten wrapper around llvm-ranlib 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

OVERVIEW: LLVM ranlib

Generate an index for archives 🎀

USAGE:

llvm-ranlib-21 archive...

like. that's it. that's the job. you hand her some archive... and she generates an index for them. iconic behaviour, no notes. 👑

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

okay here's the full menu, no skipping, every single one:

  • -h, --help — Display available options ✨
  • -V, --version — Display the version of this program 🌸
  • -D — Use zero for timestamps and uids/gids (this is the default, bestie, so if you don't say anything this is what you get) 🫶
  • -U — Use actual timestamps and uids/gids 🔥
  • -X{32|64|32_64|any} — Specify which archive symbol tables should be generated if they do not already exist. heads up: this is AIX OS only, so if you're not on AIX it's giving nothing 💀
ngl, -D vs -U matters if you care about reproducible builds — -D being the default is your friend if you want deterministic output. that's literally why it's the default. 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie, you're so ready. go index some archives. 🌟

this was emranlib version 6.0.5+dfsg+~1.41.5, dated August 2026 — mwah, ily, bye 💜
