39.Sh NAME
40.Nm lorder
41.Nd list dependencies for object files
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Nm
44.Ar
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48utility uses
49.Xr nm 1
50to determine interdependencies in the list of object files
51specified on the command line.
52The
53.Nm
54utility outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol
55which is defined by the second file.
56.Pp
57The output is normally used with
58.Xr tsort  1
59when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of the
60object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single
61pass of the loader.

63.Bd -literal -offset indent
