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
     ar(1)) files. 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 tsort(1) to find an ordering of a
     library suitable for one-pass access by ld(1).

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

	  ar cr library `lorder *.o | tsort`

     The need for lorder may be vitiated by use of ranlib(1),
     which converts an ordered archive into a randomly accessed
     library.

FILES
     *symref, *symdef
     nm(1), sed(1), sort(1), join(1)

SEE ALSO
     tsort(1), ld(1), ar(1), ranlib(1)

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