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