lorder(1)                                                         lorder(1)

NAME
     lorder - find ordering relation for an object library

SYNOPSIS
     lorder file...

DESCRIPTION
     lorder can be used to determine the ordering relation for one or more
     object or library archive files [see ar(1)]. 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 onepass access by ld(1). 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'

LOCALE
     The language of the message texts is governed by the environment vari-
     able LCALL, LCMESSAGES or LANG.

     When the default is set, the system behaves as if it were not interna-
     tionalized, i.e. the message texts are in English. You must change one
     of these variables in order to change the language of the message
     texts.

     Detailed information on the dependencies of the environment variables
     and on internationalization in general can be found in the manual
     "Reliant UNIX Programmer's Guide: Internationalization - Localiza-
     tion". Refer also to environ(5) for information on setting the user
     environment.

NOTES
     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.

FILES
     TMPDIR/*symref  temporary files

     MPDIR/*symdef   temporary files

     TMPDIR          is usually /var/tmp but can be redefined by setting
                     the environment variable TEMPDIR [see tempnam() in
                     tmpnam(3S)].
