(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.

Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
...
thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.
(Block size): Say that:
This affects display format as well as block size.
Fractional block counts are rounded up.
ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
(tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
(What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
ls --block-size=si. Displayed file size is now always affected by
--block-size.
