- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBSranlib\fR is similar to \fBranlib\fR except that it operates on
- libraries containing SPUR binaries. See the manual entry for
- \fBranlib\fR for details on what it does.
-
- .SH BUGS
- .PP
- The existence of this program at all is a bug. There should not be
- different versions of \fBranlib\fR for different instruction sets,
- but rather a single version that can handle all binary formats.
