A sort util that mimics the functionality of GNU `sort`
Introduction
This project leans heavily on, and aspires to eventually reach full feature
parity with, GNU sort
. The goal of this project is to experiment with
additional features that are not part of GNU sort
.
The main purpose of this program is to write sorted concatenation of all
file(s) to standard output.
Multiline Support
The user can specify how many lines yet-another-sort
should consider as one
multiline
unit. For example, using the following input:
b
1
a
2
can be sorted 2 lines at a time with
$ yet-another-sort --multiline 2
a
2
b
1
