tsort(1)                                                    tsort(1)


       NAME
             tsort - topological sort

       SYNOPSIS
             tsort [file]

       DESCRIPTION
             The tsort command produces on the standard output a totally
             ordered list of items consistent with a partial ordering of
             items mentioned in the input file.  If no file is specified,
             the standard input is understood.

             The input consists of pairs of items (nonempty strings)
             separated by blanks.  Pairs of different items indicate
             ordering.  Pairs of identical items indicate presence, but not
             ordering.

       DIAGNOSTICS
