SORTMANENT(1)

NAME
sortmanent - sort manapge entities

SYNOPSIS
sortmanent

DESCRIPTION
The entries in the "Docbook Manual Page Entities" document used by the FreeBSD Documentation Projekt ("manpage entities") are listed in an unusal way. The entries are grouped by their manual volume and a blank line is inserted between the groups. The entries inside each group are sorted by name.

sortmanent reads a list of unsorted manpage entities on its standard input. Lines not conforming to the format used in the "Docbook Manual Page Entities" document are sent to the standard output in the order of appearance. All other lines are grouped and sorted (using the rules outlined above) and are sent to the standard output after the non-conforming lines.

DIAGNOSTICS
The sortmanent utility always returns 0.

COMPATIBILITY
The sorting order of the entity definitions is indentical to the sorting order used in the "Docbook Manual Page Entites" document created and used by the FreeBSD Documentation Project.
