.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 18 |
|
|
.I Psort |
| 19 |
|
|
reads each metafile |
| 20 |
|
|
.I file |
| 21 |
|
|
in sequence and sorts primitives between globals according to |
| 22 |
|
|
the option specification. |
| 23 |
|
|
Lower case options mean the corresponding minimum, upper case |
| 24 |
|
|
indicates the maximum value. |
| 25 |
|
|
A '+' before the option means sort in order of increasing |
| 26 |
|
|
values, '-' means decreasing. |
| 27 |
|
|
The order the options appear on the command line is the order |
| 28 |
|
|
in which the extrema are examined. |
| 29 |
|
|
For example, the options |
| 30 |
|
|
.I \-Y +x |
| 31 |
|
|
would mean "sort on decreasing ymax, then increasing xmin values". |
| 32 |
|
|
.PP |
| 33 |
|
|
If no input files are specified, the standard input is read. |
| 34 |
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE |
| 35 |
|
|

| 36 |
|
|
decreasing ymin: |

|
|
.IP "" .2i |

psort +X -y meta |
