'tsort' is a command line utility initially written for use with the Unix operating system. It performs a topological sort on the standard input.
'Common use:'
'$ tsort processname ...'
Let's make an example; if myfile is
'a s'
'b a'
'a a'
the output of
'tsort myfile'
is
'b'
'a'
's'
According to its info page, this command was initially written for the linking of the programs in the first versions of Unix, where a file were processed in order; but since the usage of ar or ranlib, which generate symbols table before linking, this utility has lost its importance.
