@RichFelker @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea The standard’s just being cautious. What it actually means is “buffer of size n”. It’s very versatile
@klmr @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea OK. From the documentation it sounds like it's intended to be used with large/unbounded n.
@klmr @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea Obviously for sorts, etc. you don't want a size-n temp buffer for shuffling but a small bounded size.
@RichFelker @klmr @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea Not sure what you mean. It would be nice if sort(1) could auto choose right value for -S, no?
@ch3root @RichFelker @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea That’s not really related. `sort` *could* choose that value though. It’s probably just hard.
@klmr @RichFelker @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea Doesn't `sort -S` need exactly what was described in the original quote with n = size of file?
@ch3root @klmr @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea If you want everything else that happens to get run during the sort to abort with OOM...
@RichFelker @klmr @barrelshifter @0xabad1dea 1/2 I'm ready to wait until `sort` finishes (e.g. by running it on a dedicated machine).
