Hi,
I often use the 'sort' program often for sorting text files. Recently, I
had to write a binary search utility that can search for a key in a file
sorted using the 'sort' program. The command line 'bsearch' utility
takes similar arguments to the sort program.
Since bsearch is a common operation on sorted files, I imagine it will
be a useful utility to add to coreutils. If there is enough interest, I
would be happy to write and maintain bsearch for coreutils. The basic
program functionality is already working and tested, and it needs
support for more command-line options and documentation before it is
ready for coreutils.
Please let me know, if you think it would be useful to make bsearch a
part of coreutils.
Regards,
Sorav
