LORDER(1)

LORDER(1) | 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

ar(1), ld(1), nm(1), ranlib(1), tsort(1)

# HISTORY

An `lorder` utility appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
