46The
47.Nm
48utility uses

50to determine interdependencies in the list of object files
51specified on the command line.
52.Nm
53outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol
54which is defined by the second file.
55.Pp
56The output is normally used with
57.Xr tsort  1
58when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of the
59object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single
60pass of the loader.
