LORDER(1) — UNIX Programmer’s Manual
NAME
lorder — find ordering relation for an object library
SYNOPSIS
lorder file ...
DESCRIPTION
Lorder reads as input one or more object files or library archive — see ar(1) files, as specified by the files arguments on the command line. The standard output is a list of pairs of object file names, where the first name in the pair refers to external identifiers defined in the second file. If the output of lorder is processed through tsort(1), the result is an ordering of a library suitable for the linker, ld(1), to process in one pass.
FILES
*symdef and *symref — temporary files used for sorting
SEE ALSO
MESSAGES
usage: lorder file ...
Memory jogger message to remind you how to use lorder — you get this message if you type an lorder command with no parameters.
LIMITATIONS
The names of object files must end in .o, whether or not they are in a library. If the names don’t end in .o, the result of running lorder is nonsense.
