LORDER(1)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            LORDER(1)

NAME
     lorder - find ordering relation for an object library

SYNOPSIS
     lorder file ...

DESCRIPTION
     The input is one or more object or library archive (see
     _a_r(1)) _f_i_l_es.  The standard output is a list of pairs of
     object file names, meaning that the first file of the pair
     refers to external identifiers defined in the second.  The
     output may be processed by _t_s_o_r_t(1) to find an ordering of a
     library suitable for one-pass access by _l_d(1).

     This brash one-liner intends to build a new library from
     existing `.o' files.

          ar cr library `lorder *.o | tsort`

FILES
     *symref, *symdef    temporary files

SEE ALSO
     ar(1), join(1), ld(1), nm(1), sed(1), sort(1), tsort(1)

BUGS
     The names of object files, in and out of libraries, must end
     with `.o'; nonsense results otherwise.
