=head1 NAME
parsort - Sort (big files) in parallel
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<parsort> I<options for sort>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<parsort> uses GNU B<sort> to sort in parallel. It works just like
B<sort> but faster on inputs with more than 1 M lines, if you have a
multicore machine.
Hopefully these ideas will make it into GNU B<sort> in the future.
=head1 OPTIONS
Same as B<sort>. Except:
=over 4
=item B<--parallel=>I<N>
Change the number of sorts run concurrently to I<N>. I<N> will be
increased to number of files if B<parsort> is given more than I<N>
files.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLE
Sort files:
parsort *.txt > sorted.txt
Sort stdin (standard input) numerically:
cat numbers | parsort -n > sorted.txt
=head1 PERFORMANCE
B<parsort> is faster on files than on stdin (standard input), because
different parts of a file can be read in parallel.
On a 48 core machine you should see a speedup of 3x over B<sort>.
