FTIMES-SORTINI(1)	      FTimes Documentation	       FTIMES-SORTINI(1)

NAME
     ftimes-sortini - Sort dig output by hostname, name, and offset

SYNOPSIS
     ftimes-sortini [-r] [-m mode] [-s sort-utility] [-T tmp-dir] -f {file|-}

DESCRIPTION
     This utility sorts dig output by hostname (when present), name, and offset.
     The input format can vary so long as it contains at least the 'name' and
     'offset' fields.  The two most common formats are:

	 name|type|tag|offset|string

     and

	 hostname|name|type|tag|offset|string|joiner

     The first is produced by ftimes(1) and hipdig(1), and the second is pro-
     duced by ftimes-dig2dbi(1).

OPTIONS
     -f {file|-}
	 Specifies the name of the input file.	A value of '-' will cause the
	 program to read from stdin.

     -m mode
	 Sets the sort mode, which can be one of {e|ext|external} or {i|int|in-
	 ternal}.  The default mode is external.

     -r  Causes the input to be sorted in reverse order.

     -s sort-utility
	 Specifies the name of an alternate sort utility.  Names specified with-
	 out a path should work if they can be found using the PATH environment
	 variable.  GNU sort is the expected sort utility, but alternate utili-
	 ties can be used if they support the '-k', '-r', '-T', and '-t' options
	 in the same manner as the GNU implementation.

     -T tmp-dir
	 Specifies the directory sort(1) should use as its temporary work area.
	 The default directory is that assigned to the TMPDIR environment vari-
	 able, or /tmp if TMPDIR is not set.
