NAME

lorder — list dependencies for object files

SYNOPSIS

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 references may be resolved in a single pass of the loader.

ENVIRONMENT

NM

Path to nm(1) executable to use. Defaults to ‘nm’.

EXAMPLES

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

SEE ALSO
