42: .Sh SYNOPSIS
43: .Nm lorder
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.
