UNIQ(1) 								FSF								   UNIQ(1)

NAME

       uniq - remove duplicate lines from a sorted file

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       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
