LORDER ( l ) LORDER (l)
NAME
!order - find ordering relation for an object library
SYNOPSIS
!order file ...
DESCRIPTION
The input is one or more object or library archive files (see ar(l)).
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(l) to find an
ordering of a library suitable for one-pass access by ld(l). Note
that the link editor ld(l) is capable of multiple passes over an
archive in the portable archive format (see ar( 4)) and does not
require that lorder(l) be used when building an archive. The
usage of the lorder(l) command may, however, allow for a slightly
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 ' I order * .o I tsort '
FILES
*symref, *symdef temporary files
SEE ALSO
ar(l), Id(l), tsort( l), ar( 4).
BUGS
Object files whose names do not end with .o, even when contained
in library archives, are overlooked. Their global symbols and
references are attributed to some other file.
