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 ref-
     erences may be resolved in a single pass of the loader.

EXAMPLES

	   ar cr library.a `lorder ${OBJS} | tsort`

SEE ALSO

NAME

       lorder - find ordering relation for an object or library archive

SYNOPSIS

       lorder filename...

DESCRIPTION

       The input is one or more object or library archive filenames (see ar(1)).  The standard output is a list of pairs of object file or archive
       member names; the first file of the pair refers to external identifiers defined in the second. The output may be processed by  tsort(1)	to
       find  an  ordering  of a library suitable for one-pass access by ld. Note that the link editor ld is capable of multiple passes over an ar-
       chive in the portable archive format (see ar.h(3HEAD)) and does not require that lorder be used when building an  archive.   The  usage	of
       the lorder command may, however, allow for a more efficient access of the archive during the link edit process.

       The following example builds a new library from existing .o files.

	      ar -cr library `lorder *.o | tsort`

FILES

       TMPDIR/*symref	       temporary files

       TMPDIR/*symdef	       temporary files

       TMPDIR		       usually /var/tmp but can be redefined by setting the environment variable  TMPDIR (see tempnam() in tmpnam(3C))

NOTES

       lorder  will  accept as input any object or archive file, regardless of its suffix, provided there is more than one input file. If there is
       but a single input file, its suffix must be .o.

       The length of the filename for TMPDIR is limited to whatever sed allows.
