+.Sh NAME
+.Nm lorder
+.Nd list dependencies for object files
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Ar
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility uses
+.Xr nm 1
+to determine interdependencies in the list of object files
+and library archives
+specified on the command line.
+The
+.Nm
+utility outputs a list of file names where the first file contains a symbol
+which is defined by the second file.
+.Pp
+The output is normally used with
+.Xr tsort 1
+when a library is created to determine the optimum ordering of the
+object modules so that all references may be resolved in a single
+pass of the loader.
+.Pp
+When linking static binaries,
+.Nm
+and
+.Xr tsort 1
+can be used to properly order library archives automatically.
