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 refer-
ences may be resolved in a single pass of the loader.
EXAMPLES
ar cr library.a `lorder ${OBJS} | tsort`
