10

DESCRIPTION

12       Filter  adjacent matching lines from INPUT (or standard input), writing
13       to OUTPUT (or standard output).
14
15       With no options, matching lines are merged to the first occurrence.
16

27

31
32       -f, --skip-fields=N
33              avoid comparing the first N fields
34
35       --group[=METHOD]
36              show  all  items,  separating  groups  with   an   empty   line;
37              METHOD={separate(default),prepend,append,both}
38
39       -i, --ignore-case
40              ignore differences in case when comparing
41
42       -s, --skip-chars=N
43              avoid comparing the first N characters
44
45       -u, --unique
46              only print unique lines
47
48       -z, --zero-terminated
49              line delimiter is NUL, not newline
50
51       -w, --check-chars=N
52              compare no more than N characters in lines
53
54       --help display this help and exit
55
56       --version
57              output version information and exit
58
59       A field is a run of blanks (usually spaces and/or TABs), then non-blank
60       characters.  Fields are skipped before chars.
61
62       Note: 'uniq' does not detect repeated lines unless they  are  adjacent.
63       You  may want to sort the input first, or use 'sort -u' without 'uniq'.
64       Also, comparisons honor the rules specified by 'LC_COLLATE'.
