.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBsort\-uniq\-count\fP and
\fBsort\-uniq\-count\-rank\fP each
read a text file on standard input,
sort it according to any specified flags
(\fB-f\fP by default),
and report to standard output how often
each input line occurs.
Each output line consists of a count
followed by a tab and an input line.

\fBsort\-uniq\-count\fP produces its output
in the user's choice of sort order.
\fBsort\-uniq\-count\-rank\fP sorts its output
primarily from highest to lowest count,
with the user's sort order as a tiebreaker.
