This archive contains the utilities msort(1) and dsort(1). Both sort
|
|
text files lexicographically.
|
|
|
|
Msort is a fast in-place memory sort.
|
|
|
|
Dsort is a disk based sort that can handle "arbitrarily large" files
|
|
(in reality, limited to ULONG_MAX -- 4 294 967 295 -- bytes).
|
|
|
|
The big difference between these sorts and the previously available
|
|
sort(1) is that these won't crash your system ... if either run into
|
|
problems, they exit gracefully and (if you are using the verbose flag)
|
|
tell you what the problem is.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy.
