- * There are two known orders of table of contents for archives. The first is
- * the order ranlib(1) originally produced and still produces without any
- * options. This table of contents has the archive member name "__.SYMDEF"
- * This order has the ranlib structures in the order the objects appear in the
- * archive and the symbol names of those objects in the order of symbol table.
- * The second know order is sorted by symbol name and is produced with the -s
- * option to ranlib(1). This table of contents has the archive member name
- * "__.SYMDEF SORTED" and many programs (notably the 1.0 version of ld(1) can't
- * tell the difference between names because of the imbedded blank in the name
- * and works with either table of contents). This second order is used by the
- * post 1.0 link editor to produce faster linking. The original 1.0 version of
- * ranlib(1) gets confused when it is run on a archive with the second type of
- * table of contents because it and ar(1) which it uses use different ways to
- * determined the member name (ar(1) treats all blanks in the name as
- * significant and ranlib(1) 7&q checks for the first one).
