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 specified on the
       command  line.   lorder  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.

EXAMPLES

       $ ar cr library.a `lorder ${OBJS} | tsort`
