Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] lib subcmd: Fix memory leak in uniq
Date: Thu,  7 Dec 2023 16:05:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231208000515.1693746-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

uniq will write one command name over another causing the overwritten
string to be leaked. Fix by doing a pass that removes duplicates and a
second that removes the holes.
