Coreutils does not yet support multibyte locales, because no one has yet contributed a patch that is usable across all the coreutils that handle text, which is easy to maintain, and which does not penalize performance on single-byte locales. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

OK, the --usage then should note it just means things like tabs when talking about columns, else it sounds like multibyte is supported. ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
