 Append unique.
-Append each line to FILE if it does not exist in FILE.
-Use LINE if specified, else use lines from stdin.
-Appended lines are output to the terminal.
+
+A LINE_SET is one or more lines. Append LINE_SET to FILE if it does not exist in
+FILE.  If no LINE_SET argument is given, read lines from stdin, and treat each
+as a single LINE_SET. Appended text is output to the terminal.
