FUNCTIONS

sorted

Usage:

 sorted(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Check if lines of a file are sorted.

Assuming file.txt's content is:

 1
 2
 3

These will return success:

 % sorted file.txt
 % sorted -S numerically file.txt

But these will not:

 % sorted -S 'numerically<r>' file.txt
 % sorted -S 'asciibetically<r>' file.txt

Another example, assuming file.txt's content is:

 1
 zz
 AAA
 cccc

then this will return success:

 % sorted -S by_length file.txt
 % sorted -q -S by_length file.txt  ;# -q silences output, it just returns appropriate exit code

while these will not:

 % sorted file.txt
 % sorted -S 'asciibetically<i>' file.txt
 % sorted -S 'by_length<r>' file.txt

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• file => filename (default: "-")

• quiet => bool

• sort_args => hash

  Arguments to pass to the Sort::Sub::* routine.

• sort_sub => sortsub::spec

  Name of a Sort::Sub::* module (without the prefix).

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
