LORDER(1) BSD General Commands Manual LORDER(1)NAMElorder — list dependencies for object files
SYNOPSISlorder 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`
