By default, if keys are not given, -.Nm sort -regards each input line as a single field. -.Pp -The following options are available: -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Fl c -Check that the single input file is sorted lexicographically. -If the file is not sorted, -.Nm sort -sorts it and writes the sorted output to the standard output or the -filename specified by the -.Fl o -option. -.It Fl m -Merge only; the input files are assumed to be pre-sorted. -.It Fl o Ar output -The argument given is the name of an -.Ar output -file to -be used instead of the standard output. -This file -can be the same as one of the input files. -.It Fl T Ar directory -The argument -.Ar directory -is used for creating temporary files. -.It Fl u -Unique: suppress all but one in each set of lines -having equal keys. -If used with the -.Fl c -option, -check that there are no lines with duplicate keys. -.El -.Pp -The following options override the default ordering rules. -When ordering options appear independent of key field -specifications, the requested field ordering rules are -applied globally to all sort keys. -.\" When attached to a -.\" specific key -.\" (see -.\" .Fl k ) , -.\" the specified ordering options override -.\" all global ordering options for that key. -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Fl d -Only blank space and alphanumeric characters -.\" according -.\" to the current setting of LC_CTYPE -are used -in making comparisons. -.It Fl f -Considers all lowercase characters that have uppercase -equivalents to be the same for purposes of -comparison. -.It Fl i -Ignore all non-printable characters. -.It Fl n -An initial numeric string, consisting of optional -blank space, optional minus sign, and zero or more -digits (including decimal point) -.\" with -.\" optional radix character and thousands -.\" separator -.\" (as defined in the current locale), -is sorted by arithmetic value. -The -.Fl n -option implies -the -.Fl b -option. (See below.) -Note that the -.Fl b -option -is only effective when key fields have been specified -and that -.Fl \&0 -is considered equal to zero. -.optional It Fl r -Reverse the sense of comparisons. -.El -.Pp -The treatment of field separators can be altered using the -options: -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Fl b -Leading blank spaces are ignored when determining the starting -ending positions of a restricted sort key. -If the -.Fl b -option is specified before the first -.Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -argument, it shall be applied to all -.Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -arguments. -Otherwise, the -.Fl b -option can be -attached independently to each -.Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -or -.Fl Ar pos2 -argument (see below). -.It Fl t Ar char -.Ar Char -is used as the field separator character; -.Ar char -is not considered to be part of a field (although it -can be included in a sort key). -Each occurrence of -.Ar char -is significant (for example, -.Dq Ar charchar -delimits an empty field). -If -.Fl t -is not specified, -blank space characters are used as default field -separators. -.It Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -Designates the start position of a key field. -.It Fl Ns Ar pos1 -Designates the end position of a key field. -.El -.Pp -The following operands are available: -.Bl -tag -width indent -.Ar file -The pathname of a file to be sorted, merged, or checked. -If no file -operands are specified, or if -a file operand is -.Fl , -the standard input is used. -.Pp -A field is -defined as a minimal sequence of characters followed by a -field separator or a newline character. -By default, the first -blank space of a sequence of blank spaces acts as the field separator. -All blank spaces in a sequence of blank spaces are considered -to be part of the next field; for example, all blank spaces at -the beginning of a line are considered to be part of the -first field. -.Pp -Fields are specified -by the -.Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -and -.Fl Ar pos2 -arguments. A missing -.Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -argument defaults to the beginning of a line. -A missing -.Fl Ar pos2 -argument defaults to the end of a line. -.Pp -The arguments -.Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -and -.Fl Ar pos2 -have the form -.Em m.n -followed by one or more of the options -.Fl b , d , f , i , -.Fl n , r . -A -.Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 -position specified by -.Em m.n -is interpreted to -mean the -.Em n Ns th -character in the -.Em m Ns \(pl1th -field. -A missing -.Em \&.n -means -.Ql \&.0 , -indicating the first character of the -.Em m Ns \(pl1th -field. -If the -.Fl b -option is in effect, -.Em n -is counted from the first -non-blank character in the -.Em m Ns \(pl1th -field; -.Em m Ns \&.0b -refers to the first -non-blank character in the -.Em m Ns \(pl1th -field. -.Pp -A -.Fl Ar pos2 -position specified by -.Em m.n -is interpreted to mean -the -.Em n Ns th -character (including separators) after the last -character of the -.Em m Ns th -field. -A missing -.Em \&.n -means -.Ql \&.0 , -indicating -the last character of the -.Em m Ns th -field. -If the -.Fl b -option -is in effect, -.Em n -is counted from the last leading blank character in -the -.Em m Ns \(pl1th -field; -.Em m Ns \&.1b -refers to the first non-blank character in the -.Em m Ns \(pl1th -field. -.Sh FILES -.Bl -tag -width Pa -compact -.It Pa /var/tmp/stm*, /tmp/* -Default temporary directories (in order of search). -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr comm 1 , -.Xr uniq 1 , -.Xr join 1 -.Sh DIAGNOSTICS -.Sh BUGS -Lines which are longer than 4096 are discarded and processing continues. -.Sh HISTORY -A -.Nm -command appeared in -.At v6 . |
