NAME

symorder − rearrange symbol list

SYNOPSIS

symorder orderlist symbolfile

DESCRIPTION

Orderlist is a file containing symbols to be found in symbolfile, one symbol per line.

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 with the new ones, in the required spots.  If all of the ordered symbols are not found, an error is generated. 

This program was specifically designed to minimize the overhead of obtaining symbols from /vmunix.
