/* Sort records in inFile and append to outFile by subdividing inFile
* into small blocks, sorting these in-core, and merging them out-of-core
* via a priority queue.
*
* This is implemented as a recursive (numBlk)-way sort; the input is
* successively split into numBlk smaller blocks until these are of size
* <= blkSize, i.e. small enough for in-core sorting, then merging the
* sorted blocks as the stack unwinds. The in-core sort is parallelised
* over numProc processes.
*
* Parameters are as follows:
* inFile Opened input file containing unsorted records
* outFile Opened output file containing sorted records
* numBlk Number of blocks to divide into / merge from
* blkSize Max block size and size of in-core sort buffer, in bytes
* numProc Number of parallel processes for in-core sort
* recSize Size of input records in bytes
* bbOrg Origin of bounding box containing record keys for Morton code
* bbSize Extent of bounding box containing record keys for Morton code
* key Callback to access 3D coords from records for Morton code
