53
54       A field is a run of blanks (usually spaces and/or TABs), then non-blank
55       characters.  Fields are skipped before chars.
56
57       Note: 'uniq' does not detect repeated lines unless they  are  adjacent.
58       You  may want to sort the input first, or use `sort -u' without `uniq'.
59       Also, comparisons honor the rules specified by `LC_COLLATE'.
