LORDER(1) 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`
FILES
*symref, *symdef
nm(1), sed(1), sort(1), join(1)
SEE ALSO
tsort(1), ld(1), ar(1)
BUGS
The names of object files, in and out of libraries, must end
with `.o'; nonsense results otherwise.
