uniq

UNIQ(1) 								FSF								   UNIQ(1)

NAME

       uniq - remove duplicate lines from a sorted file

SYNOPSIS

       uniq [OPTION]... [INPUT [OUTPUT]]

DESCRIPTION

       Discard all but one of successive identical lines from INPUT (or standard input), writing to OUTPUT (or standard output).

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -c, --count
	      prefix lines by the number of occurrences

       -d, --repeated
	      only print duplicate lines

       -D, --all-repeated[=delimit-method] print all duplicate lines
	      delimit-method={none(default),prepend,separate} Delimiting is done with blank lines.

       -f, --skip-fields=N
	      avoid comparing the first N fields

       -i, --ignore-case
	      ignore differences in case when comparing

       -s, --skip-chars=N
	      avoid comparing the first N characters

       -u, --unique
	      only print unique lines

       -w, --check-chars=N
	      compare no more than N characters in lines

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       A field is a run of whitespace, then non-whitespace characters.	Fields are skipped before chars.
