tsort

tsort [OPTIONS] FILE

Topological sort the strings in FILE. Strings are defined as any sequence of tokens separated by whitespace (tab, space, or newline), ordering them based on dependencies in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Useful for scheduling and determining execution order. If FILE is not passed in, stdin is used instead.

Options

Examples

Perform a topological sort consistent with a partial sort per line of input separated by blanks:

echo -e "{{UI Backend\nBackend Database\nDocs UI}}" | tsort
