NAME
       tsort - topological sort

SYNOPSIS
       [file]

DESCRIPTION
       produces  on  the  standard  output a totally ordered list of items consistent with a partial ordering of items mentioned in the input text
       file.  If no file is specified, the standard input is understood.  is generally used in conjunction with the command to sort the objects to
       be installed in a library by (see lorder(1) and ar(1)).

       The  input  consists  of pairs of text items (nonempty strings) separated by blanks.  Pairs of different items indicate ordering.  Pairs of
       identical items indicate presence, but not ordering.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
   Environment Variables
       determines the locale for the interpretation of text as single- and/or multi-byte characters.

       determines the language in which messages are displayed.

       If or is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of is used as a default for each  unspecified  or  empty
       variable.  If is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of

       If  any	internationalization  variable	contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See
       environ(5).

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

DIAGNOSTICS
       There is an odd number of fields in the input file.

WARNINGS
       Libraries and object files cannot be directly.

       uses a quadratic algorithm that is not considered worth fixing given its typical use of ordering a library archive file.
