A sort util that mimics the functionality of GNU `sort`


Introduction

This project leans heavily on, and aspires to eventually reach full feature
parity with, GNU sort. The goal of this project is to experiment with
additional features that are not part of GNU sort.

The main purpose of this program is to write sorted concatenation of all
file(s) to standard output.

Multiline Support

The user can specify how many lines yet-another-sort should consider as one multiline unit. For example, using the following input:

 b
 1
 a
 2


can be sorted 2 lines at a time with

 $ yet-another-sort --multiline 2
 a
 2
 b
 1
