        !            15: .I Uniq
        !            16: reads the input file comparing adjacent lines.
        !            17: In the normal case, the second and succeeding copies of repeated lines are
        !            18: removed; the remainder is written on the output file.
        !            19: Note that repeated lines must be adjacent in order to be found; see
        !            20: .IR  sort (1).
        !            21: If the
        !            22: .B \-u
        !            23: flag is used, just the lines that are not repeated
        !            24: in the original file are output.  The
        !            25: .B \-d
        !            26: option specifies that one copy of just the repeated lines is to be written.
        !            27: The normal mode output is the union of the
        !            28: .B \-u
        !            29: and
        !            30: .B \-d

        !            35: option supersedes
