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. The lorder utility out‐
puts 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
