+<h1> The <tt>s6-sort</tt> program </h1>
+
+<p>
+ s6-sort sorts its input.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+ s6-sort [ -b ] [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -r ] [ -u ] [ -0 ]
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-sort reads its stdin until EOF </li>
+ <li> It sorts all the lines it read alphanumerically </li>
+ <li> It prints the sorted lines to stdout and exits 0 </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Options </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> <tt>-b</tt>&nbsp;: ignore leading spaces and tabs at the beginning of each
+line when sorting </li>
+ <li> <tt>-c</tt>&nbsp;: suppresses normal output, just returns 0 if the output
+would have been the same as the input and 1 otherwise </li>
+ <li> <tt>-f</tt>&nbsp;: ignore case when sorting </li>
+ <li> <tt>-r</tt>&nbsp;: reverse sort </li>
+ <li> <tt>-u</tt>&nbsp;: suppresses duplicate lines </li>
+ <li> <tt>-0</tt>&nbsp;: input and output lines are separated by null characters
+instead of newlines </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Posixness </h2>
+
+<p>
+ s6-sort <strong>is not</strong> suitable as a Single Unix
