LORDER(1)                          BSD General Commands Manual                          LORDER(1)

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`

SEE ALSO
