Why are there 2 separate binaries for /usr/bin/sort and
/usr/xpg4/bin/sort? From looking at it the only difference is option
-c.
sort(1) says:
/usr/bin/sort
-c Checks that the single input file is ordered as speci-
fied by the arguments and the collating sequence of
the current locale. The exit code is set and no output
is produced unless the file is out of sort.
/usr/xpg4/bin/sort
-c Same as /usr/bin/sort except no output is
produced under any circumstances.
But why is this a problem? I thought error messages are
notaninterface? Or is this the exception of the common rule?
