and
hasn't really been necessary for a very long time.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm lorder

|
.Nd list dependencies for object files
|
|
.Sh DEPRECATION NOTICE
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is obsolete and may not be present in
|
|
.Fx 14
|
|
and later.
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility uses
|
|
.Xr nm 1
|
|
to determine interdependencies in the list of object files
|
|
and library archives
|
|
specified on the command line.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol
|
|
which is defined by the second file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The output is normally used with
|
|
.Xr tsort 1
|
|
when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of the
|
|
object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single
|
|
pass of the loader.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When linking static binaries,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr tsort 1
|
|
can be used to properly order library archives automatically.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The use of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is not required by contemporary linkers, and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be removed from a future version of
|
|
.Fx .
