! 44: .Ar
! 45: .Sh DESCRIPTION
! 46: The
! 47: .Nm lorder
! 48: utility uses
! 49: .Xr nm 1
! 50: to determine interdependencies in the list of object files
! 51: specified on the command line.
! 52: .Nm Lorder
! 53: outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol
! 54: which is defined by the second file.
! 55: .Pp
! 56: The output is normally used with
! 57: .Xr tsort 1
! 58: when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of the
! 59: object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single
! 60: pass of the loader.
