"uniq" is a command in Linux (the "linux" flag indicates that we want information specifically about Linux). The "uniq" command is used to filter and manipulate text files or input streams by removing or identifying adjacent duplicate lines. It reads the input file or stream and removes consecutive duplicate lines, only keeping one instance of each duplicate line. By default, "uniq" is case-sensitive, meaning that it treats uppercase and lowercase letters as different characters, but this behavior can be changed using the appropriate flags.
In summary, the command "tldr -p linux uniq" provides a concise explanation or example usages of the "uniq" command in Linux, using the "tldr" utility.
