Last time it was discussed it appears the biggest category of response could probably be categorized as "I don't need sorted IP addresses, so I won't spend time writing the patch", rather than "it's a lousy idea that no one should implement". So yes, feel free to propose it as a patch, along with justification on why people want sorted IP addresses. You'll need to have copyright assignment on file with the FSF before we can take such a patch, though, as it would probably be non-trivial. Also, make sure that the patch includes documentation and unit tests. When comparing IP addresses to be sorted, would you declare that all IPv4 addresses sort earlier than IPv6? Would you make the code sort hostnames based on what IP address a DNS resolution produces for that name, or would you stick to pure numeric formats? Make sure the sorting is consistent based on network ordering (the same address pairing should sort the same way on both big and little endian machines). Also, more than one string can resolve to the same address (for example, ::, ::0, and even ::0.0.0.0 are the same IPv6 address), so you'll need to consider how to do tie-breaking sorts of strings that map to the same address. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --J5hWrSUjkt8DhxplWFwJhrHFH3r9pt7Fv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVcf8tAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqR1kH/A6iE0y3ffEGaTeYesPTsEuS uAhYGyWEn/xkth3f0mXQBJU+xWiI2O7SSRNjfT1CnkYGvRGXPYk4qyO6jcEJ/8gG PYJJVGsopp4Te616roieWOFBBMGZZ/iIKdFEmijBMFoiyfmhFqJa3EV8ZtP4wPu5 MOo1WscCwh6Pxd9uyoLI+9bx0Y6H/Kio1dPCuSF6wixP5hUqLmlJdOaNyF7FQ9u6 u0f0pZz2TOYIUSj/2EUD4towULXrDy430UhPHPvoKzCSqo32U8siMQ781i2ETv/B JXgksjJchAfY6tHXCBk9/O9Hf9ZPW9U8aFwiEMuh0g79wXHLQWHIhoezqxOZCPA= =GgbQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --J5hWrSUjkt8DhxplWFwJhrHFH3r9pt7Fv--

FWIW I use 'sort' to sort IPv4 addresses in my ping_scan[1] script. The info documentation for sort provides another example, log files sorted by IP address and time stamp. That specific example even needs two runs of sort, because sort lacks built-in support for IP addresses. While IPv4 addresses are readily sorted by "sort -s -t '.' -k 1,1n -k 2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n", this is not the case for IPv6 addresses. Having an option for sorting IP addresses that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 seems like a useful addition to me.

[...] In the spirit of tools doing one thing and doing it well, it would make more sense to have a tool that converts an IP address to something sortable and use that instead in combination with sort. I'm not even sure having a tool just for that specific task would make sense though. Here, it sounds more like a job for a high level language like perl/python... (what if I want to sort on roman numerals now, week day names, astrological signs...) for instance, here using yash syntax (you can use named pipes or possibly coprocs with some other shells): ip2hex() { perl -MSocket=:all -nle ' print unpack "(H2)*", inet_pton(/:/?AF_INET6:AF_INET, $_)' } mysort() { ( exec 3>>|4 tee /dev/fd/3 | cut -f1 3>&- | ip2hex 3>&- | paste - /dev/fd/4 3>&- ) | sort | cut -f2- } mysort << EOF 127.0.0.1 blah 6.6.6.6 foo ::1 bar EOF That's still quite awkward. A shame that piping capabilities in shells don't extend to more complex scenarii where the output of some command can be piped to two others the output of which can be merged back easily. named pipes can be used for that, but cleaning up and restricting access to them makes their usage quite messy. Of course, the whole thing can be done with perl. -- Stephane

The "sort" command has nothing to do with "IP addresses". OK, there's already a -M for month sorting (locale dependant) useful in log sorting. There's already a -h and -V. Those are still quite generic. But IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are very specific (and the right sort order not necessarily obvious (IPv4 vs v6, link-local addresses, different IPv4 notations...)) Maybe there's a way to allow that without having to implement the specifics in sort. Like sort key flags to invoke commands: sort '-k1,1|ip2hex' '-k2,2n|roman2int' '-k3,3|iconv -t us//TRANSLIT' For sort to invoke those ip2hex/roman2int/iconv shell command lines to pre-process the sort keys before sorting. -- Stephane

[...] I'm not suggesting one process per line. Those are meant to be filters processing the whole input, so one ip2hex process, one roman2int... That would have to be done carefully to avoid deadlocks, but should be efficient if done properly (with proper buffering). The idea being to implement the cumbersome plumbing in my previous yash approach inside sort. -- Stephane

This is a useful example. We're essentially talking about generalizing the Decorate Sort Undecorate pattern here, which can be broken down to: Decorate parse process insert Sort parse sort Undecorate parse remove Your example above, generalizes the Decorate and Undecorate parts using shell constructs, and you had a further suggestion for pulling those internally to sort like: sort '-k1,1|ip2hex' '-k2,2n|roman2int' '-k3,3|iconv -t us//TRANSLIT' Note we have similar kind of sub processing support in split for example: seq 10 20 | split -nr/$(nproc) --filter='rev' If doing within sort(1), we'd have to read as well as write to the pipe, and also for performance these filters would be used to process the input before passing to the standard sort consumer functions. Now having this within sort only provides for conciseness rather than providing a functional advantage. Another alternative would be to generalise the Decorate portion of the process, which would be simpler as write only, and also inherently distributed on multicore with a separate "decorate" process. Doing this would also be of more general use than just for sort. So we might have: decorate '-k1,1|ip2hex' '-k2,2n|roman2int' '-k3,3|iconv -t us//TRANSLIT' Generally with "decorate", you would add a column rather than replacing, though that would be controllable with options. You could also do this whole decorate processing with something like http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/funcpy or your perl -nle method. and that would also support correlated operations like filtering. Though that would require users to know the python/perl or whatever, so there is some merit I think to having something like the above decorate command. thanks, Pádraig
