NAME
       pacsort - sort utility implementing alpm_pkg_vercmp

SYNOPSIS
       pacsort [options] [files ...]

DESCRIPTION
       pacsort concatenates the given files, sorts them, and writes them to
       standard output. Default order is oldest to newest.

       Standard input is read when no files are given.

       By default the lines are treated as lists of plain version strings.

OPTIONS
       -f, --files
           If the input lists are in the format *-*.pkg.tar*, sort lines by
           pkgname and pkgver.

       -h, --help
           Display syntax and command-line options.

       -k, --key <index>
           Sort the input starting on the specified column.

       -z, --null
           Lines end with null bytes rather than newlines.

       -r, --reverse
           Sort in reverse order.

       -t, --separator <sep>
           Field separator. Default separator is space.

       -V, --version
           Display the version.
