llvm-ranlib [options] archive...

so it's [options] (plural, yes, options are a thing) and then one or more archive files. iconique.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — llvm-ranlib is an alias for the llvm-ar <> tool that generates an index for one or more archives. That's it. That's the job. Index go brrr 💅

highkey the best part? You can use it as a replacement for GNU's ranlib tool. Same energy, new era, no cap 🫶

and the lore iykyk:

Running llvm-ranlib is equivalent to running llvm-ar s.
