Solaris 8 "sort" + does conform to POSIX. Also fix the documentation to clarify + this and related issues. + + * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention -k earlier, so + that the options are in alphabetical order. Describe how -b works + more-accurately; this involves fixing some examples, too. Mention + what happens if the start field falls after an end field or after + a line end. Warn about using -k without -b, -g, -M, -n, or -t. + Add an example of how to sort IPv4 addresses and Apache Common + Log Format dates. Remove a duplicate example. + (Putting the tools together): Use separate options rather + than agglomerating them. + * src/sort.c (limfield): Use skipeblanks, not skipsblanks, to + decode whether to skip leading blanks. + (trailing_blanks): Remove. + (fillbuf, getmonth, keycompare): Don't trim trailing blanks. + + * tests/pr/Test.pm: Fix typo in env_default comment. + * tests/sort/Test.pm: Likewise. + (18c, 18d): Reverse the order of output lines, so that the + test cases conform to POSIX. + 2004-04-22 Paul Eggert More signal-handling cleanup for ls.c.
