NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     lorder -- list dependencies for object files

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     lorder file ...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

HISTORY    [Toc]    [Back]

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