NAME
App::sort_by_spec - Sort lines of text by spec
VERSION
This document describes version 0.004 of App::sort_by_spec (from Perl
distribution App-sort_by_spec), released on 2024-03-06.
FUNCTIONS
sort_by_spec
Usage:
sort_by_spec(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Sort lines of text by spec.
This utility lets you sort lines of text "by spec". Sorting by spec in
an advanced form of sorting by example. In addition to specifying
example strings, you can also specify regexes or Perl sorter codes. For
more details, see the sorting backend module Sort::BySpec.
To specify a regex on the command-line, use one of these forms:
/.../
qr(...)
and to specify Perl code on the command-line, use this form:
sub { ... }
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* dereference_recursive => *true*
Read all files under each directory, recursively, following all
symbolic links, unlike -r.
* files => *array[filename]*
(No description)
* ignore_case => *bool*
If set to true, will search case-insensitively.
* recursive => *true*
Read all files under each directory, recursively, following symbolic
links only if they are on the command line.
* reverse => *bool*
Reverse sort order.
* specs* => *array[str_or_re_or_code]*
(No description)
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
metadata.
Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
