uniq INFO page says:
‘-u’
‘--unique’
Discard the last line that would be output for a repeated input
group. When used by itself, this option causes ‘uniq’ to print
unique lines, and nothing else.
This really needs some examples, to help people understand what it means.
While an example is always nice, isn't the last part of the above exactly
telling what it's doing?
$ printf '%s\n' a a a b c c | uniq -u
b
Admittedly, the --help output is both much shorter and clearer:
-u, --unique only print unique lines
