- 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?
