RE: Did the options for the Unix sort command change?

[Michael Alston]

Jim,

 

You've taught me to fish, big time!

 

I've been using Unix/Linux systems for decades and was only familiar
with the man command for looking up commands.

 

This "info coreutils" help feature is very informative, on the sort
command and many others.

 

What else have I been in the dark about?

 

I guess its true ... "Ya don't know what Ya don't know".

 

BR,

Mike

You can start with the examples in "info coreutils sort".
