+.Dt RANLIB 5
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ranlib
+.Nd a.out archive (library) table-of-contents format
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ranlib.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The archive table-of-contents command
+.Nm
+creates a table of contents for archives, containing object files, to
+be used by the link-editor
+.Xr ld 1 .
+It operates on archives created with the utility
+.Xr ar 1 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+function
+prepends a new file to the archive which has three separate parts.
+The first part is a standard archive header, which has a special name
+field, "__.SYMDEF".
+.Pp
+The second part is a
+.Dq long
+followed by a list of ranlib structures.
+The long is the size, in bytes, of the list of ranlib structures.
+Each of the ranlib structures consists of a zero based offset into the
+next section (a string table of symbols) and an offset from the beginning
+of the archive to the start of the archive file which defines the symbol.
+The actual number of ranlib structures is this number divided by the size
+of an individual ranlib structure.
+.Pp
+The third part is a
+.Dq long
+followed by a string table.
+The long is the size, in bytes of the string table.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ar 1 ,
+.Xr ranlib 1
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Tn <ranlib.h>
+header file, and the
+.Nm
+manual page, do not describe the table-of-contents used by ELF systems, which
+is that from the
+.At V.4
+ABI.
