-.TH SORT "1" "May 2012" "GNU coreutils 8.17" "User Commands"
-.SH NAME
-sort \- sort lines of text files
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B sort
-[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILE\fR]...
-.br
-.B sort
-[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fI--files0-from=F\fR
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.\" Add any additional description here
-.PP
-Write sorted concatenation of all FILE(s) to standard output.
-.PP
-Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-Ordering options:
-.TP
-\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-ignore\-leading\-blanks\fR
-ignore leading blanks
-.TP
-\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-dictionary\-order\fR
-consider only blanks and alphanumeric characters
-.TP
-\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-ignore\-case\fR
-fold lower case to upper case characters
-.TP
-\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-general\-numeric\-sort\fR
-compare according to general numerical value
-.TP
-\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-ignore\-nonprinting\fR
-consider only printable characters
-.TP
-\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-month\-sort\fR
-compare (unknown) < 'JAN' < ... < 'DEC'
-.TP
-\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-human\-numeric\-sort\fR
-compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)
-.TP
-\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-numeric\-sort\fR
-compare according to string numerical value
-.TP
-\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-random\-sort\fR
-sort by random hash of keys
-.TP
-\fB\-\-random\-source\fR=\fIFILE\fR
-get random bytes from FILE
-.TP
-\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-reverse\fR
-reverse the result of comparisons
-.TP
-\fB\-\-sort\fR=\fIWORD\fR
-sort according to WORD:
-general\-numeric \fB\-g\fR, human\-numeric \fB\-h\fR, month \fB\-M\fR,
-numeric \fB\-n\fR, random \fB\-R\fR, version \fB\-V\fR
-.TP
-\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\-sort\fR
-natural sort of (version) numbers within text
-.PP
-Other options:
-.TP
-\fB\-\-batch\-size\fR=\fINMERGE\fR
-merge at most NMERGE inputs at once;
-for more use temp files
-.TP
-\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-check\fR, \fB\-\-check\fR=\fIdiagnose\-first\fR
-check for sorted input; do not sort
-.TP
-\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-check\fR=\fIquiet\fR, \fB\-\-check\fR=\fIsilent\fR
-like \fB\-c\fR, but do not report first bad line
-.TP
-\fB\-\-compress\-program\fR=\fIPROG\fR
-compress temporaries with PROG;
-decompress them with PROG \fB\-d\fR
-.TP
-\fB\-\-debug\fR
-annotate the part of the line used to sort,
-and warn about questionable usage to stderr
-.TP
-\fB\-\-files0\-from\fR=\fIF\fR
-read input from the files specified by
-NUL\-terminated names in file F;
-If F is \- then read names from standard input
-.TP
-\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-key\fR=\fIKEYDEF\fR
-sort via a key; KEYDEF gives location and type
-.TP
-\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-merge\fR
-merge already sorted files; do not sort
-.TP
-\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fIFILE\fR
-write result to FILE instead of standard output
-.TP
-\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-stable\fR
-stabilize sort by disabling last\-resort comparison
-.TP
-\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-buffer\-size\fR=\fISIZE\fR
-use SIZE for main memory buffer
-.TP
-\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-field\-separator\fR=\fISEP\fR
-use SEP instead of non\-blank to blank transition
-.TP
-\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-temporary\-directory\fR=\fIDIR\fR
-use DIR for temporaries, not $TMPDIR or /tmp;
-multiple options specify multiple directories
-.TP
-\fB\-\-parallel\fR=\fIN\fR
-change the number of sorts run concurrently to N
-.TP
-\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-unique\fR
-with \fB\-c\fR, check for strict ordering;
-without \fB\-c\fR, output only the first of an equal run
-.TP
-\fB\-z\fR, \fB\-\-zero\-terminated\fR
-end lines with 0 byte, not newline
-.TP
-\fB\-\-help\fR
-display this help and exit
-.TP
-\fB\-\-version\fR
-output version information and exit
-.PP
-KEYDEF is F[.C][OPTS][,F[.C][OPTS]] for start and stop position, where F is a
-field number and C a character position in the field; both are origin 1, and
-the stop position defaults to the line's end. If neither \fB\-t\fR nor \fB\-b\fR is in
-effect, characters in a field are counted from the beginning of the preceding
-whitespace. OPTS is one or more single\-letter ordering options [bdfgiMhnRrV],
-which override global ordering options for that key. If no key is given, use
-the entire line as the key.
-.PP
-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.
-.PP
-With no FILE, or when FILE is \-, read standard input.
-.PP
-*** WARNING ***
-The locale specified by the environment affects sort order.
-Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses
-native byte values.
