* NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this. Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file. * src/sort.c: Implement this. Include argmatch.h. (usage): Document the change. (CHECK_OPTION): New constant. (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now treated differently from 'c'. (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays. (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C. (main): Parse the new options. * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6): New tests for -C.

When sorting very large inputs, this can result in sort using far
less temporary disk space and in improved performance.
+** New features
+
+ sort accepts the new option -C, which acts like -c except no diagnostic
+ is printed. Its --check option now accepts an optional argument, and
+ --check=quiet and --check=silent are now aliases for -C, while
+ --check=diagnose-first is an alias for -c or plain --check.

* Noteworthy changes in release 6.7 (2006-12-08) [stable]
