usage: natsort [-h] [--version] [-p] [-f LOW HIGH] [-F LOW HIGH] [-e EXCLUDE] [-r]
[-t {int,float,real,f,i,r}] [--nosign] [-s] [--noexp] [-l]
[entries ...]
Performs a natural sort on entries given on the command-line.
Arguments are read from sys.argv.
positional arguments:
entries The entries to sort. Taken from stdin if nothing is given on the command
line.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
-p, --paths Interpret the input as file paths. This is not strictly necessary to sort
all file paths, but in cases where there are OS-generated file paths like
"Folder/" and "Folder (1)/", this option is needed to make the paths
sorted in the order you expect ("Folder/" before "Folder (1)/").
-f LOW HIGH, --filter LOW HIGH
Used for keeping only the entries that have a number falling in the given
range.
-F LOW HIGH, --reverse-filter LOW HIGH
Used for excluding the entries that have a number falling in the given
range.
-e EXCLUDE, --exclude EXCLUDE
Used to exclude an entry that contains a specific number.
-r, --reverse Returns in reversed order.
-t {int,float,real,f,i,r}, --number-type {int,float,real,f,i,r}, --number_type {int,float,real,f,i,r}
Choose the type of number to search for. "float" will search for floating-
point numbers. "int" will only search for integers. "real" is a shortcut
for "float" with --sign. "i" is a synonym for "int", "f" is a synonym for
"float", and "r" is a synonym for "real".The default is int.
--nosign Do not consider "+" or "-" as part of a number, i.e. do not take sign into
consideration. This is the default.
-s, --sign Consider "+" or "-" as part of a number, i.e. take sign into
consideration. The default is unsigned.
--noexp Do not consider an exponential as part of a number, i.e. 1e4, would be
considered as 1, "e", and 4, not as 10000. This only effects the --number-
type=float.
-l, --locale Causes natsort to use locale-aware sorting. You will get the best results
if you install PyICU.

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
