LORDER(1)			 HP-UX 5.0		     LORDER(1)

     NAME
	  lorder - find ordering relation for an object library

     SYNOPSIS
	  lorder file ...

     HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
	  Level:    HP-UX/STANDARD

	  Origin:   System III

     DESCRIPTION
	  The input is one or more object or library archive files
	  (see ar(1)).	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(1) to find an ordering of a
	  library suitable for one-pass access by ld(1).  Note that
	  the link editor ld(1) is capable of multiple passes over an
	  archive in the portable archive format and does not require
	  that lorder(1) be used when building an archive.  The usage
	  of the lorder(1) 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 lorder *.o | tsort

     FILES
	  *symref, *symdef    temporary files

     SEE ALSO
	  ar(1), ld(1), tsort(1).

     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.
