+NAME
+ sort - sort lines of text files
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ sort [OPTION]... [FILE]...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ Write sorted concatenation of all FILE(s) to standard
+ output.
+
+ Ordering options:
+
+ Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for
+ short options too.
+
+ -b, --ignore-leading-blanks ignore leading blanks
+
+ -d, --dictionary-order
+ consider only blanks and alphanumeric characters
+
+ -f, --ignore-case
+ fold lower case to upper case characters
+
+ -g, --general-numeric-sort
+ compare according to general numerical value
+
+ -i, --ignore-nonprinting
+ consider only printable characters
+
+ -M, --month-sort
+ compare (unknown) < `JAN' < ... < `DEC'
+
+ -n, --numeric-sort
+ compare according to string numerical value
+
+ -r, --reverse
+ reverse the result of comparisons
+
+ Other options:
+
+ -c, --check
+ check whether input is sorted; do not sort
+
+ -k, --key=POS1[,POS2]
+ start a key at POS1, end it at POS 2 (origin 1)
+
+ -m, --merge
+ merge already sorted files; do not sort
+
+ -o, --output=FILE
+ write result to FILE instead of standard output
+
+ -s, --stable
+ stabilize sort by disabling last-resort compari-
+ son
+
+ -S, --buffer-size=SIZE
+ use SIZE for main memory buffer
+
+ -t, --field-separator=SEP use SEP instead of non-blank
+ to blank transition
+
+ -T, --temporary-directory=DIR
+ use DIR for temporaries, not $TMPDIR or /tmp;
+ multiple options specify multiple directories
+
+ -u, --unique
+ with -c, check for strict ordering; without -c,
+ output only the first of an equal run
+
+ -z, --zero-terminated
+ end lines with 0 byte, not newline
+
+ --help display this help and exit
+
+ --version
+ output version information and exit
+
+ POS is F[.C][OPTS], where F is the field number and C
+ the character position in the field. OPTS is one or
+ more single-letter ordering options, which override
+ global ordering options for that key. If no key is
+ given, use the entire line as the key.
+
+ SIZE may be followed by the following multiplicative
+ suffixes: % 1% of memory, b 1, K 1024 (default), and so
+ on for M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
+
+ With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
+
+ *** WARNING *** The locale specified by the environment
+ affects sort order. Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional
+ sort order that uses native byte values.
