DECORATE(1)			  User Commands 		     DECORATE(1)

NAME
     decorate - convert fields of various formats

SYNOPSIS
     decorate [OPTION]... [INPUT]
     decorate --decorate [OPTION]... [INPUT]
     decorate --undecorate N [OPTION]... [INPUT]

DESCRIPTION
     Converts (and optionally sorts) fields of various formats

     With  --decorate:	adds  the converted fields to the start of each line and
     prints and prints it to STDOUT; does not sort.

     With --undecorate: removes the first  N  fields  from  the  input;  Use  as
     post-processing step after sort(1).

     Without  --decorate  and  --undecorate:  automatically decorates the input,
     runs sort(1) and undecorates the result; This is the easiest method to use.
     The decorate program allows sorting input according  to  various  ordering,
     e.g. IP addresses, roman numerals, etc.  It works in tandem with sort(1) to
     perform the actual sorting.
