lorder(1)
lorder --
find ordering relation for an object library
Synopsis
lorder file ...
Description
The input is one or more object or library archive files (see
ar(1)).
If file is -, standard input is used.
The standard output
is a list of pairs of object file or archive member names;
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.
Note that the link editor
ld
is capable of multiple passes over an archive in the portable archive format
(see
ar(4))
and does not require that
lorder
be used when building an archive.
The usage of the
lorder
command may, however, allow for a more efficient access of
the archive during the link edit process.
The following example builds a new library
from existing
.o
files:
ar -cr library ´lorder .o | tsort´
Files
TMPDIR/symref-
temporary files
TMPDIR/symdef-
temporary files
TMPDIR-
usually /var/tmp but can be redefined by
setting the environment variable
TMPDIR (see tempnam in
tmpnam(3S)).

Notices
lorder will accept as input any object or archive file,
regardless of its suffix, provided there is more than
one input file.
If there is but a single input file,
its suffix must be .o.
