Paul Eggert has mentioned that upstream uniq has never had a -W
flag. Would you be receptive to a patch?
I'm not sure. Does any distribution other than Debian-derived
distributions have it? More importantly, what's it used for and
useful for?
The main purpose is so that checking can be done against fields as
opposed to just characters (think of fields that have an inconsistent
number of characters). The use I have for it is to get the final count
for the number of pages for a given CUPS job from the CUPS page_log
file. Making a patch from the debian sources is not a difficult task and
I can provide one if necessary.
