The command "tsort ${filename}" is used to sort a file that contains a list of directed dependencies or relationships between different items.
Here's how it works:
- The "${filename}" represents the name of the file that contains the list of dependencies or relationships to be sorted.
- The tsort command reads the file and treats each line as a pair of items, where the first item depends on the second item. For example, if the file has a line "A B", it means that "A" depends on "B".
- The tsort command then analyzes the dependencies and generates a sorted output that places the items in an order that satisfies all the dependencies. In other words, it ensures that each item appears after all its dependencies.
- The sorted output is displayed on the console or can be redirected to a file for further processing.
Overall, the tsort command helps to determine the correct order of items based on their dependencies or relationships defined in the specified file.
