SYNTAX


symorder --- orderlist --- symbolfile ---|


DESCRIPTION

The orderlist file contains symbols to be found in symbolfile, 1 symbol per
line.

The symbolfile is updated in place to put the requested symbols first in the
symbol table, in the order specified.  This is done 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 cut down on the overhead of getting
symbols from the kernel.
