tsort: Perform a topological sort consistent on strings.
$ echo -e "${UI Backend\nBackend Database\nDocs UI}" | tsort
try on your machine
This command is used to sort a list of items using the topological sort algorithm.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- The
echo
command outputs the specified string:"${UI Backend\nBackend Database\nDocs UI}"
. - The
-e
option inecho
enables the interpretation of escape sequences within the string. In this case,\n
is used to represent a newline character, which separates the items in the list. - The output string is then piped (
|
) to thetsort
command. - The
tsort
command takes the input and performs a topological sort on the items in the list. - After the sort is completed, the sorted output is displayed.
In summary, this command takes a list of items, separates them by newlines, performs a topological sort on the list, and then displays the sorted items.
