RPMSORT(8)

🎀 NAME 🎀

rpmsort — bestie, it sorts your input by RPM Package Manager (RPM) versioning 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rpmsort FILES

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

rpmsort(8) takes your input files, sorts them, and writes that sorted list straight to standard out — literally just like sort(1), except this one actually gets RPM versioning. iykyk. 🦋

And here's the cute part: if you hand it - as an argument, or if you give it no arguments at all, the versions get read from standard in and written out to standard out. No cap. 🫶

---

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

okay watch this:

$ echo -e 'rpm-4.18.0-3.fc38.x86_64\nrpm-4.18.0-1.fc38.x86_64' | rpmsort
rpm-4.18.0-1.fc38.x86_64
rpm-4.18.0-3.fc38.x86_64

like… it ate that. the -1 came before the -3 and honestly? correct. 🔥
