METHOD={none(default),prepend,separate}
-f, --skip-fields=N

METHOD={separate(default),prepend,append,both}
-i, --ignore-case
ignore differences in case when comparing
-s, --skip-chars=N
avoid comparing the first N characters
-u, --unique

-z, --zero-terminated
line delimiter is NUL, not newline

--help display this help and exit
--version

A field is a run of blanks (usually spaces and/or TABs), then non-blank
characters. Fields are skipped before chars.
Note: 'uniq' does not detect repeated lines unless they are adjacent.
You may want to sort the input first, or use 'sort -u' without 'uniq'.
