The output of

$ uniq --help

contains the line

"  -W, --check-fields=N  compare no more than N fields in lines"

but in the Info entry for "uniq" the above option is not mentioned. I
checked the updated web page

http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/coreutils_29.html#SEC29

The problem could be solved by adding the following text:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
`-W N'
`--check-fields=N'
     Compare N field on each line (after skipping any specified
     fields and characters).  By default the entire rest of the lines
     are compared.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Perhaps it would be good to insert some additional remarks about how
the -W and -w option behave when they are used simultaneously.


Best regards and thank you for what you do
