Here is the documentation

## Installation

```bash
cargo install sort-path-length
```

## Usage

```bash
$ sort-path-length <path>
```

where `<path>` is the path of a file that contains a list of paths separated by `\n` (newline)

Or you can pass via pipe in the terminal like so:

`$ cat a_file | sort-path-length`

If you do not pass a file in the argument or the file name is "-" the program will expect input in the stdin


### example input file

```
/a/absolute/path
/a/b/c/d/e
/a
/a/dpasodj
```

the output on stdout should be

```
/a
/a/dpasodj
/a/absolute/path
/a/b/c/d/e
```

* ~~Accept input from stdin~~ Done.
* Add option to change sort order
* Check usage on other systems (eg: Windows)
* Improve documentation
