WRONG
CONCLUSION:
Extreanous flags should not be added to utilites when there
already exists a perfectly good utility to perform that function.
"sort -fu" caused some confusion.
the output from "sort -f | uniq" is self explanatory.
What you prbably want is :
... | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" | sort -f | uniq | ...
