-.TH SORT "1" "March 2007" "GNU coreutils 6.9" "User Commands"
-.SH NAME
-sort \- sort lines of text files
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B sort
-[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILE\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\-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 (default /dev/urandom)
-.TP
-\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-reverse\fR
-reverse the result of comparisons
-.PP
-Other options:
-.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\-k\fR, \fB\-\-key\fR=\fIPOS1[\fR,POS2]
-start a key at POS1, end it at POS2 (origin 1)
-.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\-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
-POS is F[.C][OPTS], where F is the field number and C the character position
-in the field; both are origin 1. 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, 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.
