SYNOPSISsymorder [-c] [-m] [-t] [-x excludelist] symlist file
DESCRIPTION
The file symlist contains a list of symbols to be found in file, one sym‐
bol per line.
The symbol table of file is updated in place; symbols read from symlist
are relocated to the beginning of the table and in the order given.
-c Makes all any symbols not in symlist local to this file.
-t Restrict the symbol table to the symbols listed in symlist.
-x excludelist
Exclude the symbols listed in excludelist from the symbol table.
-m Exit with status zero, even if some symbols are missing.
This program was specifically designed to cut down on the overhead of
getting symbols from /boot/kernel.

The symorder utility exits 0 on success, 1 if a symbol listed in the
symlist file was not found in the symbol table, and >1 if an error
occurs.
