12 9 DESCRIPTION
13 - The comm utility reads file1 and file2, which must be ordered in the
14 - current collating sequence, and produces three text columns as output:
15 - lines only in file1; lines only in file2; and lines in both files.
10 + The comm utility reads file1 and file2, which must be ordered in the
11 + current collating sequence, and produces three text columns as output:
16 12
13 + o lines only in file1;
17 14
18 - If the input files were ordered according to the collating sequence of
19 - the current locale, the lines written will be in the collating sequence
20 - of the original lines. If not, the results are unspecified.
15 + o lines only in file2;
21 16
22 -OPTIONS
23 - The following options are supported:
17 + o lines in both files.

26 - Suppresses the output column of lines unique to file1.
19 + If the input files were ordered according to the collating sequence of
20 + the current locale, the lines written will be in the collating sequence
21 + of the original lines. If not, the results are unspecified.
27 22
23 + If either file1 or file2 is -, comm uses standard input starting at the
