NAME

sort - Display sorted concatenation of all FILE(s). With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

SYNOPSIS

sort [ --help ] [ --version ] [ --sort ] [ -h | --human-numeric-sort ] [ -M | --month-sort ] [ -n | --numeric-sort ] [ -g | --general-numeric-sort ] [ -V | --version-sort ] [ -R | --random-sort ] [ -d | --dictionary-order ] [ -m | --merge ] [ -c | --check ] [ -C | --check-silent ] [ -f | --ignore-case ] [ -i | --ignore-nonprinting ] [ -b | --ignore-leading-blanks ] [ -o | --output ] [ -r | --reverse ] [ -s | --stable ] [ -u | --unique ] [ -k | --key ] [ -t | --field-separator ] [ -z | --zero-terminated ] [ --parallel ] [ -S | --buffer-size ] [ -T | --temporary-directory ] [ --compress-program ] [ --batch-size ] [ --files0-from ] [ --debug ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

Display sorted concatenation of all FILE(s). With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

OPTIONS

--help

Print help information.

--version

Print version information.

--sort

[ possible values: general-numeric, human-numeric, month, numeric, version, random]

-h , --human-numeric-sort

compare according to human readable sizes, eg 1M > 100k

-M , --month-sort

compare according to month name abbreviation

-n , --numeric-sort

compare according to string numerical value

-g , --general-numeric-sort

compare according to string general numerical value

-V , --version-sort

Sort by SemVer version number, eg 1.12.2 > 1.1.2

-R , --random-sort

shuffle in random order

-d , --dictionary-order

consider only blanks and alphanumeric characters

-m , --merge

merge already sorted files; do not sort

-c , --check

check for sorted input; do not sort

[ possible values: silent, quiet, diagnose-first]

-C , --check-silent

exit successfully if the given file is already sorted, and exit with status 1 otherwise.

-f , --ignore-case

fold lower case to upper case characters

-i , --ignore-nonprinting

ignore nonprinting characters

-b , --ignore-leading-blanks

ignore leading blanks when finding sort keys in each line

-o , --output = FILENAME

write output to FILENAME instead of stdout

-r , --reverse

reverse the output

-s , --stable

stabilize sort by disabling last-resort comparison

-u , --unique

output only the first of an equal run

-k , --key

sort by a key

-t , --field-separator

custom separator for -k

-z , --zero-terminated

line delimiter is NUL, not newline

--parallel = NUM_THREADS

change the number of threads running concurrently to NUM_THREADS

-S , --buffer-size = SIZE

sets the maximum SIZE of each segment in number of sorted items

-T , --temporary-directory = DIR

use DIR for temporaries, not $TMPDIR or /tmp

--compress-program = PROG

compress temporary files with PROG, decompress with PROG -d; PROG has to take input from stdin and output to stdout

--batch-size = N_MERGE

Merge at most N_MERGE inputs at once.

--files0-from = NUL_FILES

read input from the files specified by NUL-terminated NUL_FILES

--debug

underline the parts of the line that are actually used for sorting

[ files ]

EXTRA

The key format is FIELD[.CHAR][OPTIONS][,FIELD[.CHAR]][OPTIONS].

Fields by default are separated by the first whitespace after a non-whitespace character. Use -t to specify a custom separator. In the default case, whitespace is appended at the beginning of each field. Custom separators however are not included in fields.

FIELD and CHAR both start at 1 (i.e. they are 1-indexed). If there is no end specified after a comma, the end will be the end of the line. If CHAR is set 0, it means the end of the field. CHAR defaults to 1 for the start position and to 0 for the end position.

Valid options are: MbdfhnRrV. They override the global options for this key.
