I'm running sort (from textutils version 1.3) on SunOS Sparcs 4.1.2...
The options are very different then the one on the sun...I don't have
a posix spec around...most of the time the GNU utilities are
better...
>From the sun:
NAME
sort - sort and collate lines
SYNOPSIS
sort [ -bdfiMnr ] [ -tc ] [ sort-field ...] [ -cmu ] [
-o[ ]output-file ] [ -T directory ]
[ -y kmem ] [ -z recsz ] filename...
SYSTEM V SYNOPSIS
/usr/5bin/sort [ -bdfiMnr ] [ -tc ] [ sort-field ...] [
-cmu ] [ -o[ ]output-file ] [ -T directory ] [ -y kmem ] [
-z recsz ] filename...
>From gnu:
NAME
sort - sort lines of text files
SYNOPSIS
sort [-cmus] [-t separator] [-o output-file] [-bdfiMnr]
[+POS1 [-POS2]] [-k POS1[,POS2]] [file...]
This is a problem because I'm running indxbib and it returns:
cognized option `-T'
Usage: sort [-cmus] [-t separator] [-o output-file] [-bdfiMnr] [+POS1 [-POS2]]
[-k POS1[,POS2]] [file...]
(I got around this by putting /usr/bin in front of my path)
What does posix say?
