As far as the following command is concerned: $ find ./source -type f | xargs sort -o bbb -u
Lew Pitcher told me that it has the following limitation [1]: The above command depends on xargs(1) to provide sort(1) with a list of input files. As the size of this list depends on both the number of files found, /and/ the maximum size of an argument vector (argv[]), there is a chance that the file bbb will only contain the sorted contents of a subset of the files found by find(1).
