This is not a bug, but a feature request.

‘uniq --count’ is an excellent tool for summarizing data, but it is missing one useful feature – an overall total.

It’s embarrassing to have to go to excel to bring the totals together.

I suggest a new -t (--total) option:

· When combined with ‘--count’, it reports the sum of the count lines

· Without the ‘--count’, it reports the number of lines printed by uniq

As a new parameter, it will not break any scripts that rely upon the current output of uniq.
