NAME
       depord - Sort subset names into dependency order

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lbin/depord	 [-c ctrldir  [-c ctrldir]...] [-f [namefile | -]] [-I
       | -i] [subsetID [subsetID...]]

OPTIONS
       Searches the directory ctrldir for subset *.ctrl files instead  of  the
       current	directory.  You can use multiple -c options.  Reads the subset
       names from namefile. If you use the “-” argument instead	 of  namefile,
       read  the  subset names from standard input. The namefile and “-” argu‐
       ments to the -f option are mutually exclusive. If you also specify sub‐
       set names with subsetID operands, they are concatenated with the subset
       names specified with the -f option.  Includes in the ordered output the
       names  of  all  prerequisite subsets for the subset name argument list.
       The -I and -i options are mutually exclusive.  Includes in the  ordered
       output  the names of all prerequisite subsets for the subset name argu‐
       ment list, and excludes from the output any prerequisite	 subsets  that
       are already installed. The -I and -i options are mutually exclusive.

OPERANDS
       The  name of a subset for dependency checking and ordering. If you also
       specify subset names with the -f option,	 they  are  concatenated  with
       subsetID operands.

DESCRIPTION
       The  depord  command  reads  the	 subset	 *.ctrl files in the specified
       directories for dependency information,	then  sorts  the  subset  name
       argument	 list  (and,  optionally, prerequisite subset names) in depen‐
       dency order.  If other directories are not specified,  depord  searches
       for  subset  *.ctrl files in the current directory.  If you install the
       subsets in the order shown in the depord	 output,  subset  dependencies
       are  satisfied.	If you are not using either the -I or -i option and if
       a subset dependency cannot be satisfied by the other  specified	subset
       names, an error message displays and that subset is not included in the
       output.	All subsets in a dependency cycle (where subsets are  mutually
       dependent)  are	ignored.  An error message displays, and those subsets
       are not included in the output.

       The depord command is used by the setld(8) utility.

EXAMPLES
       To sort the subsets listed on the command line into dependency order: #
       /usr/lbin/depord	   OSFCDEDT500	  OSFX11500   OSFCDEMIN500   OSFX11500
       OSFCDEMIN500 OSFCDEDT500

       To use the -I option to list the prerequisite subsets for  OSFDCEDT500,
       sorted  into  dependency	 order: # /usr/lbin/depord -I OSFCDEDT500 OSF‐
       BASE500 OSFX11500 OSFCLINET500 OSFNFS500 OSFCDEMIN500 OSFCDEDT500

       To use the -i option to check the prerequisite subsets for OSFDCEDT500,
       and  exclude  from  the	output	those  that  are  already installed: #
       /usr/lbin/depord -i OSFCDEDT500 OSFCDEDT500

RESTRICTIONS
       The -I and -i options are mutually exclusive.

FILES
       Executable file	for  depord  command  Indicates	 subsetID  is  already
       installed.   Contents list other subsets dependent upon subsetID.  Con‐
       trol files with dependency information
