The s6-sort program

s6-sort sorts its input.

Interface

     s6-sort [ -b ] [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -r ] [ -u ] [ -0 ]

• s6-sort reads its stdin until EOF
• It sorts all the lines it read alphanumerically
• It prints the sorted lines to stdout and exits 0

Options

• -b : ignore leading spaces and tabs at the beginning of each line when sorting
• -c : suppresses normal output, just returns 0 if the output would have been the same as the input and 1 otherwise
• -f : ignore case when sorting
• -r : reverse sort
• -u : suppresses duplicate lines
• -0 : input and output lines are separated by null characters instead of newlines

Posixness

s6-sort is not suitable as a Single Unix sort program.
