DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
||
Sort sorts one or more files. If no files are specified, stdin is
|
||
sorted. Output is written on standard output, unless -o is specified.
|
||
The options +pos1 -pos2 use only fields pos1 up to but not including pos2
|
||
as the sort key, where a field is a string of characters delimited by
|
||
spaces and tabs, unless a different field delimiter is specified with -t.
|
||
Both pos1 and pos2 have the form m.n where m tells the number of fields
|
||
and n tells the number of characters. Either m or n may be omitted.
