+.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
+specified on the command line.
+.Nm
+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.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ar cr library.a `lorder ${OBJS} | tsort`
