Hmm, what line would that be? We do have a tradeoff among clarity, completeness, and conciseness here. By the way, the info page (which is the actual documentation for 'sort' -- the man page is a poor substitute) has a series of examples, one of which is how to sort Apache log files. This kind of detail is too long for "sort --help", alas. http://www.gnu.org/s/coreutils/manual/html_node/sort-invocation.html
