GNU sort(1) and very large files

How does sort(1) handle the sorting of files that are too large to fit in memory? Or, for that matter, how does it sort a piped input that is too big to fit in memory all at once? Thanks! kj -- NOTE: In my address everything before the first period is backwards; and the last period, and

How to extract *and reorder* columns?

I need to extract and reorder some columns from some very large files. GNU cut will extract the columns nicely and quickly, but won't reorder them. I can do the reordering easily by piping the output of cut through a perl one-liner, but I'm looking for something faster. Is there a GNU utility

screen: emacs key bindings during copy mode?

When I use gnu screen, to navigate through the scrollback history, i use vi-like commands. Is there a way to use Emacs-like bindings instead? (I.e. I'd like to be able to use the more familiar "M-<" and "M->" to move to the top and bottom of the scrollback buffer, rather than "g" and "G".) TI

make: remote dependencies?

Would it be possible to have remote dependencies in a makefile? I have a task that depends on the status of files that are downloaded from a remote location via HTTP. This task needs to be performed only if one of the remote files has changed, in which case, the first thing to do is to downloa

Flex/Bison help!

I've never had more difficulty with GNU software than with Flex/Bison. The documentation makes absolutely no sense to me: things that should work according to the docs don't, which tells me that I just don't understand what the docs are saying. Is there a forum where I can get help with Flex &

Documentation for "cpp -E"

The documentation I've found for GNU cpp mentions "option -E" in several places, but I can't find any documentation for this option. Have I missed it somehow? Where can I find the documentation for this option? TIA! kynn --

grep & utf-8

How can I use grep to search for Chinese characters in a utf-8-encoded file? Using grep naively (i.e. just putting the Chinese characters where the search term normally goes in the command line) does not work. TIA! ~K
