filesort-rs

A conversion of my filesort project written in Rust.

Release versions

Note that main is generally a work in progress, and you probably want to use a tagged release version.

Quick start

To use filesort you pass in the name of the file you want sorted along with several optional parameters.

• --input-file, Source file to sort
• --output-file, Destination file to write to
• --descending, Sort file in descending order
• --version, Filesort version
• --help, Filesort help
• --line, Reads data in per line
• --word, Reads data in per word rather than per line

Example

• filesort --input-file test.txt --output-file output.txt --line Reads the data from test.txt per line and writes it to output.txt in ascending order
• filesort --input-file test.txt --output-file output.txt --word Reads the data from test.txt per word and writes it to output.txt in ascending order

Requirements

You must have the Rust compiler installed.
