LORDER(1)

NAME
mlorder - list dependencies for object files

SYNOPSIS
mlorder file [...]

DESCRIPTION
The mlorder utility uses nm(1) to determine interdependencies in the list of object files specified on the command line. mlorder outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol which is defined by the second file.

The output is normally used with mtsort(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.

EXAMPLES

    $ ar cr library.a $(mlorder ${OBJS}  mtsort)
