+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ranlib
+.Nd table-of-contents for archive libraries
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ranlib
+.Op Fl t
+.Ar file ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Ranlib
+creates a table of external references for archive libraries,
+normally used by the loader,
+.Xr ld 1 .
+This table is is named ``__.SYMDEF'' and is prepended to the archive.
+Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are
+uninteresting to the loader are ignored.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl t
+Set the modification time of the __.SYMDEF file.
+This time is compared by the loader with the modification time of the
+archive to verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the
+archive.
+If the modification time has been changed without any change to the
+archive (for example, by a
+.Xr cp 1 ) ,
+the
+.Fl t
+option can be used to ``touch'' the modification time so that it
+appears that the table is up-to-date.
+This is also useful after using the
+.Fl t
+option of
+.Xr make 1 .
