💖 LLVM-RANLIB 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the llvm-ranlib page — that's the LLVM one, and yes she's living in the LLVM manual section, section 1, ilysm 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

llvm-ranlib — generates an archive index 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

llvm-ranlib [options] archive...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this — llvm-ranlib is literally just an alias for the llvm-ar tool, and what she does is generate an index for one or more archives. that's it, that's the gig ✨

she can absolutely be used as a replacement for GNU's ranlib tool, no cap. so if you've been running the GNU one this whole time, she's right there ready to step in 👑

and the way that this works is so simple it's giving iconic: running llvm-ranlib is equivalent to running llvm-ar s. literally that's the whole plot 🎀
