TSORT(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual TSORT(1) NNAAMMEE tsort - topological sort SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS ttssoorrtt [ file ] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN _T_s_o_r_t produces on the standard output a totally ordered list of items consistent with a partial ordering of items men- tioned in the input _f_i_l_e. If no _f_i_l_e is specified, the standard input is understood. The input consists of pairs of items (nonempty strings) separated by blanks. Pairs of different items indicate ord- ering. Pairs of identical items indicate presence, but not ordering. SSEEEE AALLSSOO lorder(1) DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICCSS Odd data: there is an odd number of fields in the input file. BBUUGGSS Uses a quadratic algorithm; not worth fixing for the typical use of ordering a library archive file. Printed 7/9/88 April 29, 1985 1
