Jim Meyering 28c66112b8 (su invocation): Use @subsection', not invalid @heading'. 2003-07-24 09:29:04 +00:00
Jim Meyering 6c32aa26a2 wc count field widths now are heuristically adjusted depending
on the input size, if known.  If only one count is printed, it
is guaranteed to be printed without leading spaces.

Previously, wc did not align the count fields if
POSIXLY_CORRECT was set, but POSIX did not actually require
this undesirable behavior, so it has been removed.

* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise.

Jim Meyering 7bb7cd570a (expr invocation): Exit status is 2 if the

Jim Meyering 5d51fc8a5b (uniq invocation, squeezing, The uniq command):
Use "repeated" rather than "duplicate" to describe adjacent
duplicates; this simplifies the description and makes it more
consistent with POSIX.
(uniq invocation): Make it clear that -d and -u suppress the
output of lines, rather than cause some lines to be output.
Mention what happens if a line lacks enough fields or characters.
