.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".
|

If no input files are specified, the standard input is read.
