45.Nm lorder
46utility uses

48to determine interdependencies in the list of object files
49specified on the command line.
50.Nm Lorder
51outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol
52which is defined by the second file.
53.Pp
54The output is normally used with
55.Xr tsort  1
56when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of the
57object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single
58pass of the loader.
