| 10 | lorder \- find ordering relation for an object library | |
| 11 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 12 | .B lorder | |
| 13 | file ... | |
| 14 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | The input | |
| 16 | is one or more object or library archive (see | |
| 17 | .IR ar (1)) | |
| 18 | .I files. | |
| 19 | The standard output | |
| 20 | is a list of pairs of object file names, | |
| 21 | meaning that the first file of the pair refers to | |
| 22 | external identifiers defined in the second. | |
| 23 | The output may be processed by | |
| 24 | .IR tsort (1) | |
| 25 | to find an ordering of | |
| 26 | a library suitable for one-pass access by | |
| 27 | .IR ld (1). | |
| 28 | .PP | |
| 29 | This brash one-liner intends to build a new library | |
| 30 | from existing `.o' files. | |
| 31 | .IP | |
| 32 | ar cr library \`\|lorder *.o | tsort\` | |
| 33 | .PP | |
| 34 | The need for lorder may be vitiated by use of | |
| 35 | .IR ranlib (1), | |
| 36 | which converts an ordered archive into a randomly | |
| 37 | accessed library. | |
| 38 | .SH FILES | |
| 39 | *symref, *symdef | |
| 40 | .br | |
| 41 | nm(1), sed(1), sort(1), join(1) | |
| 42 | .SH "SEE ALSO" | |
| 43 | tsort(1), | |
| 44 | ld(1), | |
| 45 | ar(1), | |
| 46 | ranlib(1) | |
| 47 | .SH BUGS | |
| 48 | The names of object files, in and out of libraries, must end with `.o'; | |
| 49 | nonsense results otherwise. |
