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