The overall structure of .Nm is a stacking (reverse Polish) calculator i.e.\& numbers are stored on a stack. Adding a number pushes it onto the stack. Arithmetic operations pop arguments off the stack and push the results. See also the .Xr bc 1 utility, which is a preprocessor for .Nm providing infix notation and a C-like syntax which implements functions and reasonable control structures for programs. The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl e Ar expr , Fl Fl expression Ar expr Evaluate .Ar expression . If multiple .Fl e options are specified, they will be processed in the order given. .It Fl f Ar filename , Fl Fl file Ar filename Process the content of the given file before further calculations are done. If multiple .Fl f options are specified, they will be processed in the order given. .It Fl h , Fl Fl help Print short usage info. .It Fl V , Fl Fl version Print version info. .It Fl x Enable extended register mode. This mode is used by .Xr bc 1 to allow more than 256 registers. See .Sx Registers for a more detailed description. .El .Pp If neither .Ar expression nor .Ar file are specified on the command line, .Nm reads from the standard input. Otherwise .Ar expression and .Ar file are processed and .Nm exits. .Pp Ordinarily, .Nm operates on decimal integers, but one may specify an input base, output base, and a number of fractional digits (scale) to be maintained. Whitespace is ignored, except where it signals the end of a number, end of a line or when a register name is expected. The following constructions are recognized: .Bl -tag -width "number" .It Va number The value of the number is pushed on the stack. A number is an unbroken string of the digits 0\-9 and letters A\-F. It may be preceded by an underscore .Pq Sq _ to input a negative number. A number may contain a single decimal point. A number may also contain the characters A\-F, with the values 10\-15. .It Cm "+ - / * % ~ ^" The top two values on the stack are added (+), subtracted (\-), multiplied (*), divided (/), remaindered (%), divided and remaindered (~), or exponentiated (^). The two entries are popped off the stack; the result is pushed on the stack in their place. Any fractional part of an exponent is ignored. .Pp For addition, subtraction, and remainder, the scale of the result is the maximum of scales of the operands. For division the scale of the result is defined by the scale set by the .Ic k operation. For multiplication, the scale is defined by the expression .Sy min(a+b,max(a,b,scale)) , where .Sy a and .Sy b are the scales of the operands, and .Sy scale is the scale defined by the .Ic k operation. For exponentiation with a non-negative exponent, the scale of the result is .Sy min(a*b,max(scale,a)) , where .Sy a is the scale of the base, and .Sy b is the .Em value of the exponent. If the exponent is negative, the scale of the result is the scale defined by the .Ic k operation. .Pp In the case of the division and modulus operator (~), the resultant quotient is pushed first followed by the remainder. This is a shorthand for the sequence: .Bd -literal -offset indent -compact x y / x y % .Ed The division and modulus operator is a non-portable extension. .It Ic a Pop the top value from the stack. If that value is a number, compute the integer part of the number modulo 256. If the result is zero, push an empty string. Otherwise push a one character string by interpreting the computed value as an .Tn ASCII character. .Pp If the top value is a string, push a string containing the first character of the original string. If the original string is empty, an empty string is pushed back. The .Ic a operator is a non-portable extension. .It Ic c All values on the stack are popped. .It Ic d The top value on the stack is duplicated. .It Ic e Equivalent to .Ic p , except that the output is written to the standard error stream. .It Ic f All values on the stack are printed, separated by newlines. .It Ic G The top two numbers are popped from the stack and compared. A one is pushed if the top of the stack is equal to the second number on the stack. A zero is pushed otherwise. This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic I Pushes the input base on the top of the stack. .It Ic i The top value on the stack is popped and used as the base for further input. The initial input base is 10. .It Ic J Pop the top value from the stack. The recursion level is popped by that value and, following that, the input is skipped until the first occurrence of the .Ic M operator. The .Ic J operator is a non-portable extension, used by the .Xr bc 1 command. .It Ic K The current scale factor is pushed onto the stack. .It Ic k The top of the stack is popped, and that value is used as a non-negative scale factor: the appropriate number of places are printed on output, and maintained during multiplication, division, and exponentiation. The interaction of scale factor, input base, and output base will be reasonable if all are changed together. .It Ic L Ns Ar x Register .Ar x is treated as a stack and its top value is popped onto the main stack. .It Ic l Ns Ar x The value in register .Ar x is pushed on the stack. The register .Ar x is not altered. Initially, all registers contain the value zero. .It Ic M Mark used by the .Ic J operator. The .Ic M operator is a non-portable extensions, used by the .Xr bc 1 command. .It Ic N The top of the stack is replaced by one if the top of the stack is equal to zero. If the top of the stack is unequal to zero, it is replaced by zero. This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic n The top value on the stack is popped and printed without a newline. This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic O Pushes the output base on the top of the stack. .It Ic o The top value on the stack is popped and used as the base for further output. The initial output base is 10. .It Ic P The top of the stack is popped. If the top of the stack is a string, it is printed without a trailing newline. If the top of the stack is a number, it is interpreted as a base 256 number, and each digit of this base 256 number is printed as an .Tn ASCII character, without a trailing newline. .It Ic p The top value on the stack is printed with a trailing newline. The top value remains unchanged. .It Ic Q The top value on the stack is popped and the string execution level is popped by that value. .It Ic q Exits the program. If executing a string, the recursion level is popped by two. .It Ic R The top of the stack is removed (popped). This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic r The top two values on the stack are reversed (swapped). This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic S Ns Ar x Register .Ar x is treated as a stack. The top value of the main stack is popped and pushed on it. .It Ic s Ns Ar x The top of the stack is popped and stored into a register named .Ar x . .It Ic v Replaces the top element on the stack by its square root. The scale of the result is the maximum of the scale of the argument and the current value of scale. .It Ic X Replaces the number on the top of the stack with its scale factor. If the top of the stack is a string, replace it with the integer 0. .It Ic x Treats the top element of the stack as a character string and executes it as a string of .Nm commands. .It Ic Z Replaces the number on the top of the stack with its length. The length of a string is its number of characters. The length of a number is its number of digits, not counting the minus sign and decimal point. .It Ic z The stack level is pushed onto the stack. .It Cm \&[ Ns ... Ns Cm \&] Puts the bracketed .Tn ASCII string onto the top of the stack. If the string includes brackets, these must be properly balanced. The backslash character .Pq Sq \e may be used as an escape character, making it possible to include unbalanced brackets in strings. To include a backslash in a string, use a double backslash. .It Xo .Cm < Ns Va x .Cm > Ns Va x .Cm = Ns Va x .Cm !< Ns Va x .Cm !> Ns Va x .Cm != Ns Va x .Xc The top two elements of the stack are popped and compared. Register .Ar x is executed if they obey the stated relation. .It Xo .Cm < Ns Va x Ns e Ns Va y .Cm > Ns Va x Ns e Ns Va y .Cm = Ns Va x Ns e Ns Va y .Cm !< Ns Va x Ns e Ns Va y .Cm !> Ns Va x Ns e Ns Va y .Cm != Ns Va x Ns e Ns Va y .Xc These operations are variants of the comparison operations above. The first register name is followed by the letter .Sq e and another register name. Register .Ar x will be executed if the relation is true, and register .Ar y will be executed if the relation is false. This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic \&( The top two numbers are popped from the stack and compared. A one is pushed if the top of the stack is less than the second number on the stack. A zero is pushed otherwise. This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic { The top two numbers are popped from the stack and compared. A one is pushed if the top of stack is less than or equal to the second number on the stack. A zero is pushed otherwise. This is a non-portable extension. .It Ic \&! Interprets the rest of the line as a .Ux command. .It Ic \&? A line of input is taken from the input source (usually the terminal) and executed. .It Ic \&: Ns Ar r Pop two values from the stack. The second value on the stack is stored into the array .Ar r indexed by the top of stack. .It Ic \&; Ns Ar r Pop a value from the stack. The value is used as an index into register .Ar r . The value in this register is pushed onto the stack. .Pp Array elements initially have the value zero. Each level of a stacked register has its own array associated with it. The command sequence .Bd -literal -offset indent [first] 0:a [dummy] Sa [second] 0:a 0;a p La 0;a p .Ed .Pp will print .Bd -literal -offset indent second first .Ed .Pp since the string .Ql second is written in an array that is later popped, to reveal the array that stored .Ql first . .It Ic # Skip the rest of the line. This is a non-portable extension. .El .Ss Registers Registers have a single character name .Ar x , where .Ar x may be any character, including space, tab or any other special character. If extended register mode is enabled using the .Fl x option and the register identifier .Ar x has the value 255, the next two characters are interpreted as a two-byte register index. The set of standard single character registers and the set of extended registers do not overlap. Extended register mode is a non-portable extension. .Sh EXAMPLES An example which prints the first ten values of .Ic n! : .Bd -literal -offset indent [la1+dsa*pla10>y]sy 0sa1 lyx .Ed .Pp Independent of the current input base, the command .Bd -literal -offset indent Ai .Ed .Pp will reset the input base to decimal 10. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -diag .It %c (0%o) is unimplemented an undefined operation was called. .It stack empty for not enough elements on the stack to do what was asked. .It stack register '%c' (0%o) is empty for an .Ar L operation from a stack register that is empty. .It Runtime warning: non-zero scale in exponent for a fractional part of an exponent that is being ignored. .It divide by zero for trying to divide by zero. .It remainder by zero for trying to take a remainder by zero. .It square root of negative number for trying to take the square root of a negative number. .It index too big for an array index that is larger than 2048. .It negative index for a negative array index. .It "input base must be a number between 2 and 16" for trying to set an illegal input base. .It output base must be a number greater than 1 for trying to set an illegal output base. .It scale must be a nonnegative number for trying to set a negative or zero scale. .It scale too large for trying to set a scale that is too large. A scale must be representable as a 32-bit unsigned number. .It Q command argument exceeded string execution depth for trying to pop the recursion level more than the current recursion level. .It Q command requires a number >= 1 for trying to pop an illegal number of recursion levels. .It recursion too deep for too many levels of nested execution. .Pp The recursion level is increased by one if the .Ar x or .Ar ?\& operation or one of the compare operations resulting in the execution of register is executed. As an exception, the recursion level is not increased if the operation is executed as the last command of a string. For example, the commands .Bd -literal -offset indent [lax]sa 1 lax .Ed .Pp will execute an endless loop, while the commands .Bd -literal -offset indent [laxp]sa 1 lax .Ed .Pp will terminate because of a too deep recursion level. .It J command argument exceeded string execution depth for trying to pop the recursion level more than the current recursion level. .It mark not found for a failed scan for an occurrence of the .Ic M operator. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr bc 1 .Pp .An -nosplit .An L.

A line is a record separated from the subsequent record by a newline (default) or NUL \'\\0\' character (-z option). A record can contain any printable or unprintable characters. Comparisons are based on one or more sort keys extracted from each line of input, and are performed lexicographically, according to the current locale's collating rules and the specified command-line options that can tune the actual sorting behavior. By default, if keys are not given, .Nm uses entire lines for comparison. .Pp The command line options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl c , Fl Fl check , Fl C , Fl Fl check=silent|quiet Check that the single input file is sorted. If the file is not sorted, .Nm produces the appropriate error messages and exits with code 1, otherwise returns 0. If .Fl C or .Fl Fl check=silent is specified, .Nm produces no output. This is a "silent" version of .Fl c . .It Fl m , Fl Fl merge Merge only. The input files are assumed to be pre-sorted. If they are not sorted the output order is undefined. .It Fl o Ar output , Fl Fl output Ns = Ns Ar output Print the output to the .Ar output file instead of the standard output. .It Fl S Ar size , Fl Fl buffer-size Ns = Ns Ar size Use .Ar size for the maximum size of the memory buffer. Size modifiers %,b,K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y can be used. If a memory limit is not explicitly specified, .Nm takes up to about 90% of available memory. If the file size is too big to fit into the memory buffer, the temporary disk files are used to perform the sorting. .It Fl T Ar dir , Fl Fl temporary-directory Ns = Ns Ar dir Store temporary files in the directory .Ar dir . The default path is the value of the environment variable .Ev TMPDIR or .Pa /var/tmp if .Ev TMPDIR is not defined. .It Fl u , Fl Fl unique Unique keys. Suppress all lines that have a key that is equal to an already processed one. This option, similarly to .Fl s , implies a stable sort. If used with .Fl c or .Fl C , .Nm also checks that there are no lines with duplicate keys. .It Fl s Stable sort. This option maintains the original record order of records that have an equal key. This is a non-standard feature, but it is widely accepted and used. .It Fl Fl version Print the version and silently exits. .It Fl Fl help Print the help text and silently exits. .El .Pp The following options override the default ordering rules. When ordering options appear independently of key field specifications, they apply globally to all sort keys. When attached to a specific key (see .Fl k ) , the ordering options override all global ordering options for the key they are attached to. .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl b , Fl Fl ignore-leading-blanks Ignore leading blank characters when comparing lines. .It Fl d , Fl Fl dictionary-order Consider only blank spaces and alphanumeric characters in comparisons. .It Fl f , Fl Fl ignore-case Convert all lowercase characters to their uppercase equivalent before comparison, that is, perform case-independent sorting. .It Fl g , Fl Fl general-numeric-sort , Fl Fl sort=general-numeric Sort by general numerical value. As opposed to .Fl n , this option handles general floating points. It has a more permissive format than that allowed by .Fl n but it has a significant performance drawback. .It Fl h , Fl Fl human-numeric-sort , Fl Fl sort=human-numeric Sort by numerical value, but take into account the SI suffix, if present. Sort first by numeric sign (negative, zero, or positive); then by SI suffix (either empty, or `k' or `K', or one of `MGTPEZY', in that order); and finally by numeric value. The SI suffix must immediately follow the number. For example, '12345K' sorts before '1M', because M is "larger" than K. This sort option is useful for sorting the output of a single invocation of 'df' command with .Fl h or .Fl H options (human-readable). .It Fl i , Fl Fl ignore-nonprinting Ignore all non-printable characters. .It Fl M , Fl Fl month-sort , Fl Fl sort=month Sort by month abbreviations. Unknown strings are considered smaller than the month names. .It Fl n , Fl Fl numeric-sort , Fl Fl sort=numeric Sort fields numerically by arithmetic value. Fields are supposed to have optional blanks in the beginning, an optional minus sign, zero or more digits (including decimal point and possible thousand separators). .It Fl R , Fl Fl random-sort , Fl Fl sort=random Sort by a random order. This is a random permutation of the inputs except that the equal keys sort together. It is implemented by hashing the input keys and sorting the hash values. The hash function is chosen randomly. The hash function is randomized by .Cm /dev/random content, or by file content if it is specified by .Fl Fl random-source . Even if multiple sort fields are specified, the same random hash function is used for all of them. .It Fl r , Fl Fl reverse Sort in reverse order. .It Fl V , Fl Fl version-sort Sort version numbers. The input lines are treated as file names in form PREFIX VERSION SUFFIX, where SUFFIX matches the regular expression "(\.([A-Za-z~][A-Za-z0-9~]*)?)*". The files are compared by their prefixes and versions (leading zeros are ignored in version numbers, see example below). If an input string does not match the pattern, then it is compared using the byte compare function. All string comparisons are performed in C locale, the locale environment setting is ignored. .Bl -tag -width indent .It Example: .It $ ls sort* | sort -V .It sort-1.022.tgz .It sort-1.23.tgz .It sort-1.23.1.tgz .It sort-1.024.tgz .It sort-1.024.003. .It sort-1.024.003.tgz .It sort-1.024.07.tgz .It sort-1.024.009.tgz .El .El .Pp The treatment of field separators can be altered using these options: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl b , Fl Fl ignore-leading-blanks Ignore leading blank space when determining the start and end of a restricted sort key (see .Fl k ) . If .Fl b is specified before the first .Fl k option, it applies globally to all key specifications. Otherwise, .Fl b can be attached independently to each .Ar field argument of the key specifications. .Fl b . .It Xo .Fl k Ar field1 Ns Op , Ns Ar field2 , .Fl Fl key Ns = Ns Ar field1 Ns Op , Ns Ar field2 .Xc Define a restricted sort key that has the starting position .Ar field1 , and optional ending position .Ar field2 of a key field. The .Fl k option may be specified multiple times, in which case subsequent keys are compared when earlier keys compare equal. The .Fl k option replaces the obsolete options .Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 and .Fl Ns Ar pos2 , but the old notation is also supported. .It Fl t Ar char , Fl Fl field-separator Ns = Ns Ar char Use .Ar char as a field separator character. The initial .Ar char is not considered to be part of a field when determining key offsets. Each occurrence of .Ar char is significant (for example, .Dq Ar charchar delimits an empty field). If .Fl t is not specified, the default field separator is a sequence of blank space characters, and consecutive blank spaces do .Em not delimit an empty field, however, the initial blank space .Em is considered part of a field when determining key offsets. To use NUL as field separator, use .Fl t \'\\0\'. .It Fl z , Fl Fl zero-terminated Use NUL as record separator. By default, records in the files are supposed to be separated by the newline characters. With this option, NUL (\'\\0\') is used as a record separator character. .El .Pp Other options: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl Fl batch-size Ns = Ns Ar num Specify maximum number of files that can be opened by .Nm at once. This option affects behavior when having many input files or using temporary files. The default value is 16. .It Fl Fl compress-program Ns = Ns Ar PROGRAM Use PROGRAM to compress temporary files. PROGRAM must compress standard input to standard output, when called without arguments. When called with argument .Fl d it must decompress standard input to standard output. If PROGRAM fails, .Nm must exit with error. An example of PROGRAM that can be used here is bzip2. .It Fl Fl random-source Ns = Ns Ar filename In random sort, the file content is used as the source of the 'seed' data for the hash function choice. Two invocations of random sort with the same seed data will use the same hash function and will produce the same result if the input is also identical. By default, file .Cm /dev/random is used. .It Fl Fl debug Print some extra information about the sorting process to the standard output. %%THREADS%%.It Fl Fl parallel %%THREADS%%Set the maximum number of execution threads. %%THREADS%%Default number equals to the number of CPUs. .It Fl Fl files0-from Ns = Ns Ar filename Take the input file list from the file .Ar filename . The file names must be separated by NUL (like the output produced by the command "find ... -print0"). .It Fl Fl radixsort Try to use radix sort, if the sort specifications allow. The radix sort can only be used for trivial locales (C and POSIX), and it cannot be used for numeric or month sort. Radix sort is very fast and stable. .It Fl Fl mergesort Use mergesort. This is a universal algorithm that can always be used, but it is not always the fastest. .It Fl Fl qsort Try to use quick sort, if the sort specifications allow. This sort algorithm cannot be used with .Fl u and .Fl s . .It Fl Fl heapsort Try to use heap sort, if the sort specifications allow. This sort algorithm cannot be used with .Fl u and .Fl s . .It Fl Fl mmap Try to use file memory mapping system call. It may increase speed in some cases. .El .Pp The following operands are available: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Ar file The pathname of a file to be sorted, merged, or checked. If no .Ar file operands are specified, or if a .Ar file operand is .Fl , the standard input is used. .El .Pp A field is defined as a maximal sequence of characters other than the field separator and record separator (newline by default). Initial blank spaces are included in the field unless .Fl b has been specified; the first blank space of a sequence of blank spaces acts as the field separator and is included in the field (unless .Fl t is specified). For example, all blank spaces at the beginning of a line are considered to be part of the first field. .Pp Fields are specified by the .Sm off .Fl k\ \& Ar field1 Op , Ar field2 .Sm on command-line option. If .Ar field2 is missing, the end of the key defaults to the end of the line. .Pp The arguments .Ar field1 and .Ar field2 have the form .Em m.n .Em (m,n > 0) and can be followed by one or more of the modifiers .Cm b , d , f , i , .Cm n , g , M and .Cm r , which correspond to the options discussed above. When .Cm b is specified it applies only to .Ar field1 or .Ar field2 where it is specified while the rest of the modifiers apply to the whole key field regardless if they are specified only with .Ar field1 or .Ar field2 or both. A .Ar field1 position specified by .Em m.n is interpreted as the .Em n Ns th character from the beginning of the .Em m Ns th field. A missing .Em \&.n in .Ar field1 means .Ql \&.1 , indicating the first character of the .Em m Ns th field; if the .Fl b option is in effect, .Em n is counted from the first non-blank character in the .Em m Ns th field; .Em m Ns \&.1b refers to the first non-blank character in the .Em m Ns th field. .No 1\&. Ns Em n refers to the .Em n Ns th character from the beginning of the line; if .Em n is greater than the length of the line, the field is taken to be empty. .Pp .Em n Ns th positions are always counted from the field beginning, even if the field is shorter than the number of specified positions. Thus, the key can really start from a position in a subsequent field. .Pp A .Ar field2 position specified by .Em m.n is interpreted as the .Em n Ns th character (including separators) from the beginning of the .Em m Ns th field. A missing .Em \&.n indicates the last character of the .Em m Ns th field; .Em m = \&0 designates the end of a line. Thus the option .Fl k Ar v.x,w.y is synonymous with the obsolete option .Cm \(pl Ns Ar v-\&1.x-\&1 .Fl Ns Ar w-\&1.y ; when .Em y is omitted, .Fl k Ar v.x,w is synonymous with .Cm \(pl Ns Ar v-\&1.x-\&1 .Fl Ns Ar w\&.0 . The obsolete .Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 .Fl Ns Ar pos2 option is still supported, except for .Fl Ns Ar w\&.0b , which has no .Fl k equivalent. .Sh ENVIRONMENT .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Ev LC_COLLATE Locale settings to be used to determine the collation for sorting records. .It Ev LC_CTYPE Locale settings to be used to case conversion and classification of characters, that is, which characters are considered whitespaces, etc. .It Ev LC_MESSAGES Locale settings that determine the language of output messages that .Nm prints out. .It Ev LC_NUMERIC Locale settings that determine the number format used in numeric sort. .It Ev LC_TIME Locale settings that determine the month format used in month sort. .It Ev LC_ALL Locale settings that override all of the above locale settings. This environment variable can be used to set all these settings to the same value at once. .It Ev LANG Used as a last resort to determine different kinds of locale-specific behavior if neither the respective environment variable, nor .Ev LC_ALL are set. %%NLS%%.It Ev NLSPATH %%NLS%%Path to NLS catalogs. .It Ev TMPDIR Path to the directory in which temporary files will be stored. Note that .Ev TMPDIR may be overridden by the .Fl T option. .It Ev GNUSORT_NUMERIC_COMPATIBILITY If defined .Fl t will not override the locale numeric symbols, that is, thousand separators and decimal separators. By default, if we specify .Fl t with the same symbol as the thousand separator or decimal point, the symbol will be treated as the field separator. Older behavior was less definite; the symbol was treated as both field separator and numeric separator, simultaneously. This environment variable enables the old behavior. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width Pa -compact .It Pa /var/tmp/.bsdsort.PID.* Temporary files. .It Pa /dev/random Default seed file for the random sort. .El .Sh EXIT STATUS The .Nm utility shall exit with one of the following values: .Pp .Bl -tag -width flag -compact .It 0 Successfully sorted the input files or if used with .Fl c or .Fl C , the input file already met the sorting criteria. .It 1 On disorder (or non-uniqueness) with the .Fl c or .Fl C options. .It 2 An error occurred. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr comm 1 , .Xr join 1 , .Xr uniq 1 .Sh STANDARDS The .Nm utility is compliant with the .St -p1003.1-2008 specification. .Pp The flags .Op Fl ghRMSsTVz are extensions to the POSIX specification. .Pp All long options are extensions to the specification, some of them are provided for compatibility with GNU versions and some of them are own extensions. .Pp The old key notations .Cm \(pl Ns Ar pos1 and .Fl Ns Ar pos2 come from older versions of .Nm and are still supported but their use is highly discouraged. .Sh HISTORY A .Nm command first appeared in -.At v3 . +.At v1 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Gabor Kovesdan Aq Mt gabor@FreeBSD.org , .Pp .An Oleg Moskalenko Aq Mt mom040267@gmail.com .Sh NOTES This implementation of .Nm has no limits on input line length (other than imposed by available memory) or any restrictions on bytes allowed within lines. .Pp The performance depends highly on locale settings, efficient choice of sort keys and key complexity. The fastest sort is with locale C, on whole lines, with option .Fl s . In general, locale C is the fastest, then single-byte locales follow and multi-byte locales as the slowest but the correct collation order is always respected. As for the key specification, the simpler to process the lines the faster the search will be. .Pp When sorting by arithmetic value, using .Fl n results in much better performance than .Fl g so its use is encouraged whenever possible.
