NAME

symorder − rearrange a list of symbols

SYNOPSIS

symorder [ −s ] objectfile symbolfile

DESCRIPTION

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

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

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

OPTIONS

−s Work silently, that is, display nothing except error messages.  This is useful for checking the error status.
