34.Sh NAME
35.Nm lorder
36.Nd list dependencies for object files
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Nm
39.Ar
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43utility uses
44.Xr nm 1
45to determine interdependencies in the list of object files
46specified on the command line.
47The
48.Nm
49utility outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol
50which is defined by the second file.
51.Pp
52The output is normally used with
53.Xr tsort 1
54when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of the
55object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single
56pass of the loader.
57.Sh EXAMPLES
58.Bd -literal -offset indent
59ar cr library.a `lorder ${OBJS} | tsort`
