UNIQ-TABLE(1)

✨ NAME ✨

uniq-table — bestie, it prints the columns that take on multiple values 💅

(also hi, this is uniq-table(1) from the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual, welcome to the group chat 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uniq-table

that's it. no flags. no args. she's low maintenance, she's unbothered, she's literally just a command 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓 uniq-table reads a tab-delimited table from standard input — and yes, it needs a header row, don't skip it, that's the whole vibe check — and then it writes a table to standard output in the same general format.

and which table, you ask? not me being selective 👑 it gives you only those columns of the original table that take on multiple values.

like. if a column is just the same thing over and over? boring. not invited. if a column actually has range, has depth, has main character energy? she stays. periodt 💅✨

ngl it's giving "who here is actually doing something" and the answer is not every column, bestie 😭
