Bill, thanks for pointing out the bad example.
I've added Bob's examples verbatim.
Thanks, Bob.

date already supports it:
$ date --iso=s
2005-06-07T08:14:28+0200
ls does, too, via --time-style=STYLE.

Yes. Perhaps not the most useful of examples. Suggestions for
documentation improvements are always welcome.

OK. My current version is based upon the 5.2.1 release code. I will
try and port it over to the CVS code.

Try the following:
$ touch a\\\'s
$ ls
a\'s
$ md5sum a\\\'s
\d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e a\\'s
$ md5sum --version
md5sum (coreutils) 5.2.1
In other words, an extraneous \ is inserted before the md5 in the
output, due to the fact that there's a backslash (or perhaps a \') in
the file name
The examples in the man page say I can
ln -s a b ..
and get links in ../a and ../b to ./a and ./b
but when I try it I get a link from ../a and ../b to
themselves, which are useless circular links.
I'm using tcsh in linux,
uname -r : 2.4.21-20.EL

Here is a preliminary patch for basic shuffling functionality in
'sort', with same-keys-sort-together behavior. It adds two options:
"-R" to compare based on a hash of key, and "--seed" to specify salt
for the hash. If "--seed" is not given then the default is to read
from /dev/random or /dev/urand
