NAME¶

tsort - Topological sort the strings in FILE. Strings are defined as any sequence of tokens separated by whitespace (tab, space, or newline), ordering them based on dependencies in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Useful for scheduling and determining execution order. If FILE is not passed in, stdin is used instead.

SYNOPSIS¶

tsort [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [file]
