NAME

symorder − rearrange name list

SYNOPSIS

symorder orderlist symbolfile

DESCRIPTION

Orderlist is a file containing symbols to be found in symbolfile; 1 symbol per line. 

Symbolfile is updated in place to put the requested symbols first in the symbol table, in the order specified.  This ordering is accomplished by swapping the old symbols in the required spots with the new ones.  If all of the order symbols are not found, an error is generated. 

This program was specifically designed to reduce the overhead of obtaining symbols from /vmunix.
