NAME |
|||
sort - sort lines of text files |
|||
SYNOPSIS |
|||
sort [OPTION]... [FILE]... |
|||
DESCRIPTION |
|||
Write sorted concatenation of all FILE(s) to standard output. |
|||
Ordering options: |
|||
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options |
|||
too. |
|||
-b, --ignore-leading-blanks ignore leading blanks |
|||
-d, --dictionary-order |
|||
consider only blanks and alphanumeric characters |
|||
-f, --ignore-case |
|||
fold lower case to upper case characters |
|||
-g, --general-numeric-sort |
|||
compare according to general numerical value |
|||
-i, --ignore-nonprinting |
|||
consider only printable characters |
|||
-M, --month-sort |
|||
compare (unknown) < `JAN' < ... < `DEC' |
|||
-n, --numeric-sort |
|||
compare according to string(3,n) numerical value |
|||
-r, --reverse |
|||
reverse the result of comparisons |
|||
Other options: |
|||
-c, --check |
|||
check whether input is sorted; do not sort(1,3) |
|||
-k, --key=POS1[,POS2] |
|||
start a key at POS1, end it at POS 2 (origin 1) |
|||
-m, --merge |
|||
merge(1,8) already sorted files; do not sort(1,3) |
|||
-o, --output=FILE |
|||
write(1,2) result to FILE instead of standard output |
|||
-s, --stable |
|||
stabilize sort(1,3) by disabling last-resort comparison |
|||
-S, --buffer-size=SIZE |
|||
use SIZE for main memory buffer |
|||
-t, --field-separator=SEP use SEP instead of non-blank to blank transi- |
|||
tion |
|||
-T, --temporary-directory=DIR |
|||
use DIR for temporaries, not $TMPDIR or /tmp; multiple options |
|||
specify multiple directories |
|||
-u, --unique |
|||
with -c, check for strict ordering; without -c, output only the |
|||
first of an equal run |
|||
-z, --zero-terminated |
|||
end lines with 0 byte, not newline |
|||
--help display this help and exit(3,n,1 builtins) |
|||
--version |
|||
output version(1,3,5) information and exit(3,n,1 builtins) |
|||
POS is F[.C][OPTS], where F is the field number and C the character |
|||
position in(1,8) the field. OPTS is one or more single-letter ordering |
|||
options, which override global ordering options for that key. If no |
|||
key is given, use the entire line as the key. |
|||
SIZE may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes: % 1% of |
|||
memory, b 1, K 1024 (default), and so on for M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y. |
|||
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read(2,n,1 builtins) standard input. |
|||
*** WARNING *** The locale(3,5,7) specified by the environment affects sort(1,3) |
|||
order. Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort(1,3) order that uses native |
|||
byte values. |
