SYMORDER(1)                                                        SYMORDER(1)



NAME
       symorder - rearrange name list

SYNOPSIS
       symorder orderlist symbolfile

DESCRIPTION
       _O_r_d_e_r_l_i_s_t  is  a  file  containing symbols to be found in symbolfile, 1
       symbol per line.

       _S_y_m_b_o_l_f_i_l_e 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.

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