33              avoid comparing the first N fields
34
35       --group[=METHOD]
36              show  all  items,  separating  groups  with   an   empty   line;

38
39       -i, --ignore-case

50

55
56       --version
57              output version information and exit
58
59       A field is a run of blanks (usually spaces and/or TABs), then non-blank
60       characters.  Fields are skipped before chars.
61
62       Note: 'uniq' does not detect repeated lines unless they  are  adjacent.
63       You may want to sort the input first, or use 'sort -u' without 'uniq'.
