NAME

       lorder — list dependencies for object files

SYNOPSIS

       lorder file ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  lorder  utility  uses  nm(1)  to determine interdependencies in the list of object files and library
       archives specified on the command line.  The lorder utility outputs a list of file names where the  first
       file contains a symbol which is defined by the second file.

       The  output is normally used with tsort(1) when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of
       the object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single pass of the loader.

       When linking static binaries, lorder and  tsort(1)  can  be  used  to  properly  order  library  archives
       automatically.

ENVIRONMENT

       NM      Path to the nm(1) binary, defaults to “nm”.

       NMFLAGS
               Flags to pass to nm(1).

EXAMPLES

             ar cr library.a `lorder ${OBJS} | tsort`
             cc -o foo ${OBJS} `lorder ${STATIC_LIBS} | tsort`
