For: sorting, nominal capacity 2^32 -1 = 4294967295 bytes, up to 520 keys,
up to 65 arbitrary bytes for string terminator, can be "pipelined".
Usage: FWKCS (file1 (file2)) /(rtN&e,el;&n)s(options)([+file])([s][t]...)
Options: (-)NNNN:NNNN(,)bNNNdfNNNN,rcemNNNN,p("l"|NNN,)TNNN,...,NNN;u,tmp;
option(s) are all contiguous; can read files into command line +
use macros; re "preface" options rtN&e,el;&n, see below.
/s default is b16m253 : minimum buffer = 4096 bytes; line max len = 253;
default line_terminator is any ASCII character below blank space ' '
(ASCII 32 decimal); temporary files deleted in groups.
(-)NNNN:NNNN, (descending)key_position:key_length, up to 520 keys; can be
separated using "," or ";". Left column is called "1".
bNNN merge input Buffer size at least NNN "page"(s), 1 page = 256 bytes;
NNN is decimal, not more than 208 (i.e., 53248 bytes); see FWKCS118.REF.
c line terminator = Carriage_return line_feed (CRLF, ASCII hexadecimal 0D 0A).
d Delete each temporary file promptly when finished reading it.
e Empty line CRLF CRLF (0D 0A 0D 0A) as text block_terminator.
fNNNN Fixed field (line) length, NNNN < 4081 (also sets maximum length).
mNNNN Maximum string or text block size, including terminator, NNNN < 4081.
p"l" 'text Paragraph' (mid_)terminator_letter, appearing flush left on an
otherwise empty line (that is, CRLFlCRLF ).
pNNN, to specify any ASCII character 0...255 as such mid_terminator_letter.
r Reverse order for all keys.
tNNN(,...); Terminator for string or block, decimal values for up to 65
arbitrary ASCII characters chr$(NNN) (520 bits as 8_bit bytes).
u,tmp; Use (d:\path\)tmp as directory for temporary files. Note: when
sorting a large file, do not use root directory for temporary files.
-----------
"preface" options:
r send screen to Redirectable "standard output" ("handle 1"). This should not
be used when sorting a file in a "pipeline".
tNNNN.NN Time up to 9999.99 seconds for retry (networks).
&e,el; extra error log, can have d:\path\filename.ext.
&n deNy write (networks; FWKCS default on network opens "deny none").
