<title>Description</title>

<para>
<command>dnstracesort</command> is a filter that converts the output of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dnstrace</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> from machine-parseable form into human-readable form.
It uses TeleType Model 37 control sequences for boldface and underline, which can be interpreted by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>less</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> or converted to your terminal's own control sequences with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ul</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
