NAME

       lorder - find ordering relation for an object library

SYNOPSIS

       [files]

DESCRIPTION

       The  input consists of one or more object or archive library files (see ar(1)) placed on the command line or read from standard input.  The
       standard output is a list of pairs of object file names, meaning that the first file of the pair refers to external identifiers defined	in
       the  second.   Output  can be processed by to find an ordering of a library suitable for one-pass access by (see tsort(1) and ld(1)).  Note
       that the link editor is capable of multiple passes over an archive in the archive format and does not require that be used when building an
       archive.  Using the command may, however, allow for a slightly more efficient access of the archive during the link edit process.

       The  symbol table maintained by allows to randomly access symbols and files in the archive, making the use of unnecessary when building ar-
       chive libraries (see ar(1)).

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables

	      coded character set in the absence of and other environment variables.  If is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default
	      of (see lang(5)) is used instead of

       Determines the values for all locale categories and has precedence over
	      and other environment variables.

       Determines the locale category for character collation.

       Determines the locale category for character handling functions.

       Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format
	      and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

       Determines the locale category for numeric formatting.

       Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing
	      of

       If  any	internationalization  variable	contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to See envi-
       ron(5).

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

EXAMPLES

       Build a new library from existing files:

       When creating libraries with so many objects that the shell cannot properly handle the expansion, the following technique may prove useful:

WARNINGS

       Object files whose names do not end with are overlooked, even when contained in library archives.  Their global symbols and references  are
       attributed to some other file.

FILES

       temporary files
