       -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
