lorder

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`
