        !            18: .I Uniq
        !            19: reads the input file comparing adjacent lines.
        !            20: In the normal case, the second and succeeding copies of repeated lines are
        !            21: removed; the remainder is written on the output file.
        !            22: Note that repeated lines must be adjacent in order to be found; see
        !            23: .IR  sort (1).

        !            27: in the original file are output.  The
        !            28: .B \-d
        !            29: option specifies that one copy of just the repeated lines is to be written.
        !            30: The normal mode output is the union of the
        !            31: .B \-u
