NAME

symorder − rearrange name list

SYNOPSIS

symorder orderlist symbolfile

DESCRIPTION

Orderlist is a file containing symbols to be found in symbolfile, 1 symbol per line. 

Symbolfile is updated to put the requested symbols first in the symbol table, in the order specified.  This is done by creating a module entry at the beginning of the symbol table, followed by the definitions of the requested symbols.  If all of the order symbols are not found, an error is generated. 

This program was specifically designed to cut down on the overhead of getting symbols from /dynix.
