NAME

symorder − rearrange name list

SYNOPSIS

symorder orderlist symbolfile

DESCRIPTION

Orderlist is a file listing symbols found in symbolfile, with one symbol per line.

Symorder updates symbolfile in place by putting the requested symbols first in the symbol table, in the order specified.  To do this, symorder swaps the old symbols in the required spots with the new ones.  If symorder cannot find all the order symbols, it generates an error. 

This program was specifically designed to cut down on the overhead of getting symbols from /vmunix.
