=head1 NAME

llvm-ranlib - Generate index for LLVM archive

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<llvm-ranlib> [--version] [-help] <archive-file>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

=head1 EXIT STATUS
